Dig around on Google, you'll find the numbers. Or just go shopping in those respective countries (more are added all the time too).]]>Mar 11th 2008 6:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/internet2-prepped-for-100gbps-capacity/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/internet2-prepped-for-100gbps-capacity/Oct 10th 2007 7:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/internet2-prepped-for-100gbps-capacity/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/internet2-prepped-for-100gbps-capacity/Now... a giga bit... is 1 billion bits... which is 125 Megabytes... and we're talking 100 gigabits here, at 10 gigabit chunks? thats 1.250 Gigabytes per second, transfer rate... While you, on a 3 Megabit connection are only managing 375 Kilobytes per second.
Now, I'm not sure if all this techno-jargon makes any sense to you, or even if I got my conversions dead on... but, if not, I still know I'm in the general ballpark... So, hopefully that answers your question about how much of a speed boost you'd be getting.

In the computer worlds it is always 2^of something just the nature of being binary.
This is why when you buy a hard drive the number you see on the box is rarely the same as the number your computers displays.
With all that said a 3 Mbit connections is incredibly fast (Using base 2 Math because that is what I like) Your 3 Mbit connection is runing at 384 KBytes Per second. Or about a novel every 2.5 Seconds, and an average song every 10 Seconds.
In comparison in that same 2.5 Seconds on a 100 Gbit connection, you can download One encyclopedia , and a couple of DVDs. ]]>Oct 11th 2007 10:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/internet2-prepped-for-100gbps-capacity/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/internet2-prepped-for-100gbps-capacity/Oct 11th 2007 5:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/internet2-prepped-for-100gbps-capacity/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/internet2-prepped-for-100gbps-capacity/
it's really fucking fast.]]>Nov 8th 2007 1:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/internet2-prepped-for-100gbps-capacity/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/internet2-prepped-for-100gbps-capacity/
3mbp/s as he said is roughly 400kb/s
a song downloaded off itunes with a bitrate of (for the sake of things) is 192kb/s
so for every one second of downloading, you get roughly two seconds of song, so two minutes for a four minute song at the maximum theoretical speed (assuming the guys above me are any right.. i'm very busy but i thought i'd try to help)

1250 gigabytes per second.. (FUCKING FAST AS HELL)
think of well over 200 (probably pushing 250) dvd's. in ONE second.
you can't even find torrents to download that quickly so, basically it's like (assuming you have some dvd's, games, and pictures, videos and music in your house) being able to download EVERYTHING you've ever made on your computer/games console etc. etc. in about a second. literally.

it's quite fucking fast to say the least.]]>Mar 11th 2008 5:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/internet2-prepped-for-100gbps-capacity/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/internet2-prepped-for-100gbps-capacity/Mar 11th 2008 5:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/internet2-prepped-for-100gbps-capacity/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/internet2-prepped-for-100gbps-capacity/Oct 10th 2007 7:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/internet2-prepped-for-100gbps-capacity/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/internet2-prepped-for-100gbps-capacity/Oct 10th 2007 7:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/internet2-prepped-for-100gbps-capacity/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/internet2-prepped-for-100gbps-capacity/Oct 10th 2007 9:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/internet2-prepped-for-100gbps-capacity/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/10/internet2-prepped-for-100gbps-capacity/
