That is very impressive. Now I only wish that something half that speed would make it through my cables and into my computer. Okay, half sounds like an insanely fast amount too, I'd settle for a mere fraction of the speed, so long as it was somewhat faster than what I have in place now
Mind you, if I had speed like that, I'd need a seriously faster dvd-burner, or an incredibly huge hard drive, because I know that I'd fill it up way too fast, cause the temptation to have everything almost instantaneously would be too much for me to resist.
As for what Alex said about the phone and the internet becoming two separate things in the future, I would love that day to become today, because as it is right now at my house, my internet is very unstable, constantly going up and down, and the phone line sounds like static most of the time (though I've noticed that when the phone is clear, the internet seems to work alright. It's weird, but whatever. I haven't been able to convince my dad to get the phone line checked either... and he used to be a bell phone repairman, so I would have thought something like this would have been right up his alley. Anyway, whatever...)
So yea, I really really really would be happy to have a line that would go at 160gb/sec, but I would definitely settle for the line that the 75-year old woman has that allows for 40 gigs a second. That would also be fabulous. Do you happen to know what kind of line she has for that speed, or why is it so fast? I'm really curious now, because I didn't know that anyone's internet could be that fast lol. Either way, I read the article, and it's pretty interesting to read, plus she's so lucky that she has some people in the business that can do that sort of thing for her.
