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?
i agree totally with gatorkram, let us know when it applies to us at home!

| Re: Sick of these? 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.

| To all of you out there, your are still lucky. Just check this out. Here in Aruba (One happy island) I have to pay US$350 for 1Mb/256 Dsl to my local ISP SETARNET (»www.setardsl.aw) (Monopoly). Anyone out there interested to bring other companies to the island for some competition? | |

| 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.

| well .. how about this?
god forbid some1 in your family gets sick ( i do not wish that just using it as an example) and they put him through a CAT scan or different new devices that record pretty much everything that is going on in a human body. and that data has an impressive size... but unfortunately that hospital does not have the computing power to thoroughly analyze that data and give you a exact answer to what is going on to your kid... and they need to send that huge amount of data to some university across the country or across the world ... would you trust fedex with the life of your loved one? the same scenario applies to research on new medicine ... there are huge amounts of data that come out of these experiments. the only thing you are interested is how fast you can get it... to me it seems a little childish ... not to mention selfish ... yes .. very selfish ... say what you want but i am happy and i would like to shake the hands of those people because it's from people like those that new innovations come every day to help save lives and make them easyer... you are only interested in how fast you can download this and that and in being able to brag to your friends how fast your net is ... i say ... get a clue ... you will never see these speeds and never will need them ... but knowing that universities can communicate and send the data they get from experiments to someone who really needs it is really comforting.
you are missing everything since your judgement is clouded by selfishness....
