World's Fastest Internet Transfer Rate?

Posted by Cliff on from the king-of-the-bandwidth-hill dept.

vrioux asks: "While browsing through available Internet service offerings in my area, I became puzzled by the large amount of different speed records that seem to have been achieved in the past months. Some say that 5.44Gbits was the fastest ever achieved, while others seem to think 923Mbits is still in the race. Is there anybody who really knows who holds the Internet transfer world speed record?"

    No, but I have a compelling essay about who was the best Star Trek captain. I have some time tomorrow night if you'd like me to read it to you. /*I hope the mods are in good humor today*/

    How about, "Is there anybody who really cares who holds the Internet transfer world speed record?"

    Surprisingly, at least two people seem to care -- vrioux and Cliff. I'm surprised.

    Slow news day, eh?
