40 Gigabits per second? WTF?

Am I doing something wrong here or that 5,000,000 Kilobytes per second. (5,000 MB / s)

How the hell does she have this and how much does it cost.

Right now she's probably getting bombarded by brute force attacks and various other hackers hoping to use her speed for a malicious proxy.

cost ??

Yes, well 40gbps locally.. internationally.. it's doubtful the connection speeds would sustain 100mbits and even less depending on the routes the connections take. That's the problem.. unless 100% of the traffic is routed on internet-2 connections, this is not exactly such a great thing. Although it must be fun pinning out all the speed tests locally. BTW, how much?

NIC?

WTF NIC card does moms' computer have in it?

Even a gigabit card leaves 39gbps+(overhead) hanging there with nothing to do...

A REALLY REALLY expensive NIC card that most people have no use for.

Believe me, if you can afford a 40gbps connection, you can afford to have a NIC designed and built or just purchase an industrial one.

Sounds right, I know 45Mbits is about 5MB/sec

Super speeded

wow, in sweden, they can get 40Gbps and in my country, they can't even offer a descent 512kbps DSL at a good price, but wow if i had tat connection, instant web browsing, instant downloads, instant uploads,Super LAG-Free Online games, not to mention torrents wow, like the whole world in ur Hard drive , if my country could have tat, piracy rates would increase by 725% Around the world , and 1500HD movies.... Where's the popcorn

Wonder how much 40Gbps Would cost anyways

Absolutely no reason to have 40gbps to a single pc, total waste. Sure, if you can afford it I would do it too, but its insanely overkill haha. I'd be happy with 25mbps symmetrical, sheesh.

Re: NIC?

That still leaves 30Gb/s leftover with nothing to do.
