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?
Yes they probably will, unfortunately we wil be restricted to using the internet for less than a 2 seconds per 24 hours. Failure to observe this will result in a snotty reminder from AUP
