Default The speed of the internet

Can someone give me an idea of the average speed of data from one ISP to another.

I used to the speeds of dialup, 10mb lan 100mb lan and 1000mb lan. I have heard or terms like T1 and T3 but not realy sure of what it realy means.

Im interested to know some of these terms and what speeds they relate to and what is or might be the average speeds most ISPs have.

Have a look at some of the achievements of fibre data transmission. Wouldn't mind a link up like this. 14Tbps!!! That's right 14 TERROR bits per second!

NTT breaks speed record for fiber data transmission

Being measured in Tera Bits per second this equates to 1.75 Tera Bytes per second. Or as I would prefer to measure by.... 375 HD Movie downloads per second!
