This is pretty nerdly stuff, but it’s important none the less. Telstra is laying a new Internet cable in the Pacific from Hawaii to Australia, but this isn’t some Ethernet jobby. No, this cable is capable of transporting 1.28 Terabits per second, sustained. According to IDM, that’s enough bandwidth to supply Australia with 160,000 HD channels, with plenty of room to spare.
So blokes from down under, fire up your Torrent trackers. Your porn just got faster.
Wahoo! I can communicate with the down under faster from Hawai`i.
glad that i wasn’t the only one to think porn when i read some new pipe was being laid
At least someone’s laying pipe in Hawaii
Since spring is here, rest assured Telstra is not the only one laying pipe in hawaii. Just not us :’-(
