Engineers at Caltech and the University of Victoria in Canada have smashed their own internet speed records, achieving a memory-to-memory transfer rate of 339 gigabits per second (53GB/s), 187Gbps (29GB/s) over a single duplex 100-gigabit connection, and a max disk-to-disk transfer speed of 96Gbps (15GB/s). At a sustained rate of 339Gbps, such a network could transfer four million gigabytes (4PB) of data per day — or around 200,000 Blu-ray movie rips.

Wow, that is one fast Internet connection. This could mean soon we can run full-fledge computer programs, games, movies, TV shows, and music streamed from a website to our home in HD, and with no slow down.

Hopefully, some day this super fast internet will be affordable, or free.

If this super fast internet is available at my local library or community center for people to use for free like the current internet at libraries and community centers, I would walk there everyday to use it because of the speed.
 
For some reason my wallet is crying as I can see ISP charing a arm and a leg for service like this.
