I know this is going to shame me forever to mention it... but where I live... in the middle of nowhere - the fastest connection I can get is 28.8 Kbps. I download at an average of 2.5 Kb.
And as if that didn't make me seem pathetic enough - I also download a Gig or two every month in... stuff of many sorts (appz, music, etc.) despite my connection.
...
... now everyone can outright accuse me of downloading gigs of porn... I know it's coming so I thought I'd just cover my bases... :lol:
Those who caught the announcement last week that researchers at Stanford Linear Accelerator (SLAC) had broken an Internet land-speed record might be forgiven for expressing a collective shrug. The SLAC'ers announced they had sent 6.7 billion bytes of data at a rate of 1 billon bits, or 1 gigabit, per second over 10,000 kilometers between Sunnyvale, California, and their collaborators at the NIKHEF institute in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, with help from Caltech.
