New Internet speed record set

posted 16 October ,2003 @13:50

Two major scientific research centres said on Wednesday they had set a new world speed record for sending data across the Internet, equivalent to transferring a full-length DVD film in seven seconds.

The European Organisation for Nuclear Research, CERN, said the feat, doubling the previous top speed, was achieved in a nearly 30-minute transmission over 7,000 kms of network between Geneva and a partner body in California.

CERN, whose laboratories straddle the Franco-Swiss border near Geneva, said it had sent 1.1 Terabytes of data at 5.44 gigabits a second (Gbps) to a lab at the California Institute of Technology, or Caltech, on October 1.

This is more than 20,000 times faster than a typical home broadband connection, and is also equivalent to transferring a 60-minute compact disc within one second — an operation that takes around eight minutes on standard broadband.

wow! sending dvd film in 7 sec. i love it! when will it come to here?

saw the newspaper, there was few nokia hp exploded cases. all of it was becoz of using counterfeit batteries. last time, i sent my hp to repair, they told me my battery wasnt original one, but it seems so alike the genuine one! :|

i started to worry whether my battery will explode or not. therefore, i bought myself a new genuine one.

….. i’m timid…
