The prospect of downloading a feature film in seconds came a step closer today after Japanese scientists announced they had achieved a new speed record for transferring data over the internet.
The record - which involved sending a stream of data over a 30,000km network, the equivalent of three quarters of the earth’s circumference - achieved a speed of 9.08 GB/s, about 1,000 times faster than current top of the range broadband connections.
