New Internet2 Land Speed Record
An international team set a new record for Internet performance by transferring the equivalent of an entire compact disc's contents across more than 7608 miles (12,272 km) of network in 13 seconds. The rate of 401 megabits per second achieved in transferring 625 megabytes of data from Fairbanks, Alaska to Amsterdam in the Netherlands is over 8000 times greater than the fastest dial-up modem.
Taken from http://slashdot.org Dammit, I want this NOW!! Maybe its all a big plan by BT - no broadband for most people as they're planning on rolling this out instead? Fat chance, but I can dream
