9Gbps Internet Anybody?
Internet2 smashed 2 word records for data transmission speeds within 24 hours, sending data over a distance of 20,000 miles first at 7.67Gbps (gigabits per second) using standard communications methods, then at 9.08Gbps using IPv6 protocols. Internet2 or UCAID (University Corporation for Advanced Internet Development) is an American consortium dedicated to proving really fast piracy. No indication on how long it’s going to be before we hit this kind of speed on home broadband, but they do mention ‘a new network with a capacity of 100Gbps.’
