Internet Speed Record

Through a network more than 7,000km between Switzerland and California, the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) reports it broke another internet speed record. 1.1 Terabytes of data were delivered at 5.44 gigabits a second.

The data flow sent by CERN to Caltech doubled the previous internet speed record. This flow is comparable to sending an hour long CD in one second or a DVD film in seven seconds. This speed is 20,000 times quicker than most broadband connections.

Question:- Will NTL/TeleWest/Pipex/BT ever get up to this kinda standard?
