And after 5 minutes you'll have to upgrade to a 100 terabyte array.

I WANT IT!

You know what I could do with that kind of bandwidth? transmit and receive high definition video streams at faster than real time, start a 64-player BF1942 server, and sell the remaining bandwidth to my neighbors.

What? Is it so wrong to want a net connection that blows all others out of the water?

And what's wrong with me drooling? :p

Wow. It does sound incredibly impressive. But since I am computer illiterate, and therefore do not know quite what bandwith is, I won't drool. I think that even if I knew what bandwith was, I still wouldn't drool.

But I bet my little brother would like it!

Well that's not so bad. Consider that if you split it to 200 subscribers, each receiving a maximum throughput of 5MBps, you can cover it for about $50/subscriber. $50 for a connection that's about 35x faster than my current $70 connection sounds like a darn good deal!

Not as good a deal as is offered in Sweden, though. 100mbps for $50.
