100Mbps Home Internet Service Next Year in Finland
Listen Up writes "According to an article on CNN, broadband Internet access via cable modems in Finland will be able to hit 100 Mbps as early as 2006. That would be 50 times faster than the average broadband speeds now offered to cable TV homes in Finland. Do you think this technology has the possibility of reaching U.S. shores? Or do you think the already deeply entrenched U.S. politics are going to keep this technology from ever reaching us? There are already thousands and thousands of miles of 'dark fiber' underground around the U.S."
Every time there's a Slashdot article about bandwidth, I can't help but want to be the first with the Porn joke.. I mean.. who doesn't think 'Wow.. that's a lot of porn per second (pps) throughput!' when 100mbs bandwidth is going to be offered..
But, then every time I get moderated as troll by those that probby look at porn the most but put on the most professional Slashdot face.
Us nerds need to realize the potential in sex..

Have you been here long, or is this your first run-in with the slashdot hippie crowd?
Don't let it faze you, they're all like this. Best to just ignore them and go on with life. When you confront them they just congregate into a big herd and get even stupider.
Does make trolling pretty fun though.
Um no :) 300 baud is roughly equivilent to 300 bits per second (300bps).
300kbps (lower case k) is up on my cable, 300kilo bits per second (not bytes per second, that would be 300k / 8) or approximately 38Kbps, uppercase K).
