The ultrahigh-speed Internet2 network just got 10 times faster, partly in anticipation of rising demand for capacity when the world's largest particle collider opens near Geneva next year.

Until recently, the Internet2 had a theoretical limit of 10 gigabits per second, which is thousands of times faster than standard home broadband connections. By sending data using 10 different colours, or wavelengths, of light over a single cable, operators are boosting the network's capacity to 100 Gbps.

That means a high-quality version of the movie The Matrix could be sent in a few seconds rather than half a minute over the old Internet2 and several hours over a typical home broadband line.

Why ? Cause the rest of the world will be on 100Gbps while we'll still barely make 4Mbps (1Mbps)

Why The Matrix? Anyone?

TIA indeed, but I hope the more we fall behind the bigger the joke and embarrassment for somebody in government. Ivy will have to go at some point. She is not the right person for the job she holds. Her cronies also need to be revised. We need competent people to manage the market in order to make it competitive. Socialist driving factors are keeping us back and it is also hurting those it aims to help.

That must be the 5000th time I've read something like that since my time on this forum, pity that no action is ever taken.
