With her blistering connection, Sigbritt Löthberg will be able to download a full high-definition DVD in just two seconds.

Not bad eh :eek:

Only to find that the servers at the other end still only do 100kbps

Woah!

"It's awesome!" would turn into "GIGGIDY GIGGIDY GIGGIDY!!!".

hybrid · 12 Jul 2007 at 21:49

lol, yeah that would be the problem. Even hard disks would struggle to keep that constant rate under heavy load!

In the UK we would get a 40Gb connection, contended between 20million ppl

sweet jesus!

lol overkill springs to mind, for now at least...

benjo · 13 Jul 2007 at 00:51

And she wont know any better...

Completely pointless as the infrastructure isn't in place to support such high transfer speeds

There are barely any servers you can get more than a few tens of Mb/s from, let alone 40Gb/s.

hikaru452 · 13 Jul 2007 at 02:48

the most important question is when can i/we all have speeds like that

Fraggr · 13 Jul 2007 at 02:49

Seriously, for an internet guru as the article described him, he should know that it is completely pointless to have a 40GB/s connection and he's wasted time making it.

He does have a large epenis though for building it though.

I beg to differ with that statistic actually....
As 40/8 = 5GB and an average HDDVD in my *cough* experience is about 25gb, so /really/ it'd take her 5 seconds....
That ****.

I was just about to post the same (sad) thing!

Megahurtz400 · 13 Jul 2007 at 09:23

De-rail time:

Is anyone getting horrifly slow speeds from BT Total Broadband.

I know theyre crap anyway but its dropped from being around 6.5meg to about 400 kbs :s

I blame that BT vision crap. :mad:

Imagine the porn :eek:

75-year-old Sibritt Löthberg from Karlstad Sweden just got her first computer,

Great, its going to be used to send Forward/chain mail of bad jokes and for giving money to Nigerians

Edit: If you used torrents and set it upright could you make full use of your conection on the right torrents?
