New Internet2 Land Speed Record

SquadBoy writes "An international team set a new record for Internet performance by transferring the equivalent of an entire compact disc's contents across more than 7608 miles (12,272 km) of network in 13 seconds. The rate of 401 megabits per second achieved in transferring 625 megabytes of data from Fairbanks, Alaska to Amsterdam in the Netherlands is over 8000 times greater than the fastest dial-up modem."

Dear god I can only imagine!

picture this: you're at the University of Fairbanks, and there's warmth to stimulate action that would satiate those college-age hormones. But wait! Someone you know in Sweden has Debbie Does Dallas on divx! Huzah! You are now only going to have to wait a few seconds to start wanking, as opposed to the normal hour for transfer of the relaxation material.

The internet is full of wonders.
