If you’re like most Americans, it’s probably right around 10 megabits (10 million bits) per second.
While that’s fast enough to browse the Internet and download files, it’s a speed that is only marginally better than it was a few years ago. What if you could have Internet that is 100 times faster (1 billion bits per second). That’s a pretty big jump, right?
