| Sick of these? Is anyone else sick of hearing about these "speed" records? What good is it doing anyone? I don't see my speeds getting faster, and cheaper from this, does anyone else?
Seems to me, there is lots of money out there in the world, and no ons is using it to make the internet better and faster for everyone else. Maybe I am missing something? |

over 1800 GIGS in an hour on a single TCP line... 100MB would be like 1 minute 
= 1,000,000 internet connection per month

I definitely co-sign, we are never gonna get these technologies, let alone get them at a cheap price. Overseas got connections similar or even better then us for crazy deals. These damn companies keep filling our head with cotton filling. Just do it & give us fullfillment in speeds, not yap yap.

I agree totally. It is good that speeds are increasing and people make a note of it, but it doesn't appply to me right now. I don't even have a gigabet network! I'm still 10/100  Maybe someday this technology will apply to me, but as of right now, I don't even have what is available...
And cost, how much will something like this cost for the home user? Probably alot more than what the Sheriff's department pays me

Problem is normal people don't see this as what it is. a test. a test of new technology their tests may lead to a break threw that provides even 1 gig links to your house. How would you like to not hear about any technology which may lead to a new break threw?
Thought so.

never say never... there was a time when no one would ever have dreamed of our current level of information technology. We will see very high speed connections in the home... eventually. |

The cheaper and faster ISP's can carry data, the more it will roll down to end users. Trust me, you are already feeling the affect of ISP's moving away from ATM network backbones to IP/MPLS backbones. You can get twice the data rate using the same speed interface. More economic, so the cost is handed down.
It all comes in time.

Funny how I can remember my good old 2400 baud modem and thinking it was the greatest thing. 56k wasn't that far back....fastest thing around for the home user. Now I have a 3M connection. *I* wish there was more test results posted....it obviously has a positive effect on my end.... |

They can't offer it in places where they are not the local telco.
