What I would give for internet like this!

Drop the '&h=f717d' on your link and it works
 
I'll just leave this here

Sometime in 2100, but for now.. its its all photoshopped :D
 
LOL I just checked my speed at the office and I get 57Mb down and 64Mb up. UP < Down??? Must be lunchtime and everybody is surfing.

So you must have a 600 megabit line then? You mean 64megabit or megabytes? :O

It's real alright...and it's actually pretty slow by today's standards!

Imagine being able to download three-months-worth of HD video in one second. If it sounds implausible, it’s not. Two different research groups have been working on a way to speed up fiber optic technology to record-setting broadband speeds.

When the first commercial fiber-optic communications system was developed in 1975, it operated at a bit rate of 45 Mbps. Today, we have speeds of 109Tb per second which is drastically improved. New Scientist said that the route between New York and Washington D.C., which is one of the highest trafficked routes in the world, outputs “a few terabits per second.” So, relatively speaking, having a way to deliver 100 terabits per second is quite desirable for the future of data communications.

The 109 terabit per second speed was achieved by the National Institute of Information and Communications in Tokyo. The group developed a fibre that uses seven “light-guiding cores,” instead of the normal single core. Each core was able to carry 15.6 terabits per second, which totaled 109 terabits combined.

The second record-setter came from NEC’s Dayou Qian, who achieved 101.7 terabits per second. His method did not use more cores, but instead created the pulse sent down the line from 370 separate lasers. Each laser contained a small packet of information, but combined to form a massive amount of data transfer. He used 165 kilometers of fibre to demonstrate this super-fast transfer rate.

Though we probably wont’ be seeing it in our homes anytime soon, huge data centers, like those of Amazon, Facebook, and Google would be smart to start using these techniques for faster speeds. But high traffic on the web thanks to services like Hulu and Netflix, coupled with more people hooking up to the Internet every day, means we’ll definitely need these ridiculously high speeds in the near future.

There are Gbps connections available already, but they're still kinda pointless, as drives can't write the information being downloaded fast enough. Remember, a network is only as fast as its slowest component.
 
why are people getting exited over this??

baffles me tbh

some guy getting 99 MBps so thats 792Mbps if you want ill dig up a guy seeding at 350 MBps(found it http://i55.tinypic.com/v2wjgz.png).

Overseas thats easy, you can get a dedi with a 10Gb line these days
And hard drives in specific raids can get speeds like that.
There are SSD's that get over 1000MBps http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227524
Sequential Access - Read:up to 1.3GB/s

dont see why people get excited at a 100Mb line its becoming standard overseas....
