Drool, drool.

I want one... I need one... I gotta have it! Would you believe 4 Gibabyte per second broadband? - 1500 simultaneous HDTV connections? It's been done. PING!

If you want on or off the Mac Ping List, Freepmail me.

[PetroniusMaximus]

You would still have to wait on slow servers.

[monkeyshine]

Indeed. Give me fiber or give me death(ly slow connection speeds)!

[goldstategop]

A T1 broadband connection for the price of DSL? I don't believe it.

Oh Swell, but can Sigbritt do the watuzi, the boog-a-loo, can she do the tango, can she grill baby-back ribs?

I mean, come on, just because you got gigabite humongus, doesn't mean you rule the world.

Sheeesh, maybe Sigbritt just wants a better pair of shoes.

Well, God Bless her, whatever floats her boat.

Dear Miss 75 year old woman,

My name is MaxMax and I am on a lowly 1-mb line.
Will you marry me?

Sincerely,
MaxMax.

PS,
my number is (555) Lub-Choo. /wink /wink
Lub-Choo-Long-Time.

It's the little old lady from central Sweden!

[derllak]

Neener neener! :)

[FlyVet]

No mention how much she's paying for this.

That's it...I declare myself a charity case, so I can have a pipeline like Granny Lothberg!

[AnotherUnixGeek]

Meanwhile I plug along with Comcast’s so-called broadband offering, paying over $60/month. It’s a great pity that the US isn’t leading the way in terms of affordable broadband access.

> Sigbritt Löthberg’s home has been supplied with a blistering 40 Gigabits per second connection

Just about the bandwidth you’ll need to handle an Ultra-Hi-Def 3D video stream !.

[L.N. Smithee]

Sigbritt will now be able to enjoy 1,500 high definition HDTV channels simultaneously. Or, if there is nothing worth watching there, she will be able to download a full high definition DVD in just two seconds.

It takes longer than that for me to see what I've written after hitting "Post"!

[golas1964]

Now that’s what I call ‘Wired’!

[golas1964]

Sigbritt will now be able to enjoy 1,500 high definition HDTV channels simultaneously.

Unfortunately she has the Algore and Hillary show on every channel.

But she needs terabytes worth of ram!

Nice but not very useful.

No PC can come close to accepting that much data that fast.

And what server can serve even remotely that fast?

Currently not even hard drives read or write nearly that fast.

That’s a bit like having a road designed for cars that go 10,000 mph - and having no cars that will go over 300 mph...

Here's one that did 9.08 Gbps over 5 hours for 30,000 kilometers with Linux last year. ...and some machine information for someone who asked.

IPv6 Internet Land Speed Record submission

The source server and destination server have exactly the same hardware and software configuration.
Hardware:
Intel Xeon, 3.00GHz dual core (woodcrest)
SUPERMICRO X7DBE motherboard
4GB memory
500GB SATA disk
Chelsio S310E-SR 10Gigabit Ethernet Adapter with PCI-express x8 I/O Bus

The "performance bottleneck is [was] the bandwidth limitation of WAN PHY."

It would be interesting to find out more about the hardware that Löthberg installed for his mom.

[Jack Hammer]

I’m looking forward to reading this as soon as it finishes downloading from my dialup connection.

[listenhillary]

She uses it to play solitare and check email.

Sigbritt will now be able to enjoy 1,500 high definition HDTV channels simultaneously. Or, if there is nothing worth watching there,...

1500 channels with nothing on.

I'd wear out the remote surfing through that.
