Full article here: Top News - Internet2 expands schools' possibilities

"With an average speed of 100 gigabits per second, Internet2 supports even the most bandwidth-heavy research projects and group collaborations, such as high-definition video conferencing, telemedicine, and tele-immersion, or shared virtual reality."

Technology never ceases to amaze me...

Don't know if this is old to you or not

Yea it's just that your comment made no sense, since

A) the name is not beaner
B) I do not have any kind of latin descent

Sorry, guess I was expecting a little more considering this is "Serious Discussion" thread. Anyways, I suppose I value your opinion - so thanks...

What are you even going to do with 100gigs a second right now...besides participate in online gaming. Some research.

Telemedicine sounds interesting but what if the network lags during an incision and the blade keeps slicing... dangerous.

You mean 100 Gbit/s. 100 GB/s is 800 Gbit/s. 100 Gbit/s is 12.5 GB/s.

This is as far as I can tell, only another net. It's not the internet, so comparing bandwidth of a worldwide, big, public net to a more private net consisting only of a few units isn't possible. To put it another way, you wont be able to download 15 full length movies per second from the Pirate Bay.
