World's Fastest Internet Cafe

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the like-i-needed-another-reason-for-coffee dept.

Thyrus writes "An internet cafe offering connections 50 times faster than typical broadband services has opened in Cornwall. Computers at Goonhilly satellite station, on the Lizard peninsula in Cornwall, are connected to BT's global internet protocol network. That means users can download data at speeds of up to 100 megabits per second (Mbps). It is thought to be the first time such high speeds have been seen at a UK internet cafe. The service will be free to visitors."

    An internet cafe can find a way to make money while offering service like this for free to it's customers.

    And yet the poor ol' telecoms are having such a hard time making money due to Google stealing their bandwidth.

    Bandwidth that both Google and end users already pay the telecoms for.
