Spirit and Sunet managed to send 840 gigabytes over 10,157 miles in under 27 minutes. Thats pretty darn impressive.

Makes me wanna study on a University...

There are places, and not just websites.

Wow, that's awesome, hope that technology catches up fast enough so that it becomes a commodity rather than a rarity.

I'm still without the joys of a DSL line. Heck the best net connection I got is my schools.

10:40am Recess time yay

Do you think that there could be a big bit of pressure from certain industries not to let this technology out? I'm guessing there would be a huge increase in piracy if this was ever to reach the public......

Currently its only for College and University use for applications that require loads of bandwidth. But sooner or later well start seeing it in our homes...

 

[Lethal8472]

Another note...Internet2 currently delivers speeds of up to 10Gbps. :O
