Really?? I can't even transfer 10 GB onto a flash drive quite that fast.
After finding the following on their website, I don't think I can take them seriously:
"Pronovost diagramed the internet structurally and found the low and high parts of the internet. He concluded by implementing the technology that he had diagramed. He hypothesized that not only would internet speeds be faster than fiber-optics but it would surpass speeds faster than 6gbps, the previous world record for the fastest internet, called “Internet 2” which was created by a network of students at Ivy league colleges."
- bprater 18y agoAgreed, a bit too much chest-pounding for a technology nobody has vetted or even has a demo too. When you "download" a video to your "virtual desktop", it still has to move bits from the video's source along ole' Internet 1.
