Yahoo is carrying a press release on the latest record in the Internet2 Land Speed contest.
An international team has set a new Internet2® Land Speed Record by transferring data across nearly 11,000 kilometers at an average rate of 6.25 gigabits per second (Gbps), nearly 10,000 times faster than a typical home broadband connection, from Los Angeles, Calif. to Geneva, Switzerland.
That's roughly 800 megabytes per seconds, which would allow you to transfer an average DVD in about 6 seconds!
