Bell Labs Says It Shatters Data Delivery Record

Bell Labs said that, in a demonstration, it sent a massive 2.56 terabits of data per second over a distance of 2,500 miles, the equivalent of sending the contents of 2,560,000 novels every second across the United States.

One terabit is a little over 1 trillion bits of data.

The previous record was 1.6 terabits per second over 1,250 miles, or half the distance.

I wonder how much it would cost to get them to put that in my office...

well, a leased OC3 can run you up to 10k a month. So...yeah.

$10,000/month...I wish i would have known it was that cheap. I would have had them hook one up months ago. Just as well get an OC-192 for that much. Well, that'd prob. be about $1,000,000/month.

I can spare 10Ks.

kkkkkkkkkk

aaaaaaaahahahahahahahah. that's classic

Don't tell my cable company that!! Those savages will charge $9K a mo. for a cable modem if they knew they could.

And DSL would too, but only for the 6 to 8.3 inches away from the hub where they actually offer DSL here.

still, that's dern fast...

Just found this:

OC-3 = 155.52 Mbps

OC-192 = 9.952 Gbps = WOOHOO! = make my computer start on fire.

whew...but i mean who has that kinda money to be spending? seriously!?

matt does :D

and he's giving a bunch to me.

Yeah, I'm a gazillionare. I'm the love-child of Bill Gates, Elvis Presley, and the Sultan of Brunei.
