| 150031 | 2003-06-05 11:12:00 | Wired Article (www.wired.com) describing net connection speeds up to 6000 times faster than current TCP protocol can handle... Dude... (whispered in an awed tone) |

| 150034 | 2003-06-05 21:07:00 | yeah but i wouldn't expect it for a while! i mean doing a software upgrade at telecom would be a huge problem, especially when considering they are still charging $30 a month for 128kb oh and remember, bandwidth is expensive!!!, lol lets watch the 10gb limit of js starter go down!!!!!! - David p.s. sorry to be so cynical ;) but i've seen this sort of stuff too many times. |

| 150036 | 2003-06-06 02:08:00 | Of course, as soon as more than one transmitter and one receiver uses this, the rate will drop very quickly. And their example of the speed was a factor of 3X the speed. Hardly a revolutionary improvement. Bandwidth will always cost. Every way of making things go faster comes down to greedy people trying various tricks to get more than their fair share of the available resource. |

| 150037 | 2003-06-06 02:53:00 | Precisely! I propose a new internet, everbody is linked via Cat6 cable on 100MBPS connections! I will call it : Internet³ And you know what... I'll start it from me bedroom.. you know where it'll likely end... my bedroom, none of my neighbours are computer literate, and I cant afford a cable to the end of the street! ;-) |

They are a company in Wellington and they are connecting a lot of businesses down there with Cat5 (afaik) cable. Good for internet access and B2B. |
