Researchers Break Internet Speed Records

A group of researchers led by the University of Tokyo has broken internet speed records for the second time in two days. Damn, what would you do with that kind of speed? I can’t put a thumb on a good use for all that speed right now but I’m sure something will come to me.

Operators of the high-speed Internet2 network announced Tuesday that the researchers on Dec. 30 sent data at 7.67 gigabits per second, using standard communications protocols. The next day, using modified protocols, the team broke the record again by sending data over the same 20,000-mile path at 9.08 Gbps.
