What is currently *THE* fastest internet speed by subbywan 2006-11-20 15:53:40
possible?

Cost isn't an issue. I'm just looking for the fastest, documentable speed currently used.

I realise "the speed of light" would apply to FO links, but can the hardware keep up with decoding that?

Something non-Wiki as a reference would be appreciated.
