Wow…imagine downloading a movie in a second…Would need 10TB hard drives.
Man, think of all the instantaneous porn downloads. This could be like broadband was to 56k.

True but internal data transfers don’t even go that fast. HD’s transfer files in MB/s, standard NIC’s are 1Gb/s, the only place where that kind of transfer is 20GB/s is the caching of data from CPU registers and L1 cache to L2 cache. Main memory doesn’t even get that fast, it’s only about 8GB/s on the AMD side and less on the Intel side. PC’s need to catch up!! :headbang:
lol. we’d have epic long movies embedded into threads with broadband, go make dinner warnings on the thread title.

2009, a lot can happen in two years with the pace things are moving. Besides it almost appears like they plan on using this more for major connections such as backbones and such. 
Im intrested to know how verizon keeps up with bandwidth requirements if everyone is going to be able to run 10-50meg connections.
