New ultra-fast fiber optic cable can download 3 months of HD video in 1 second

Calling an internet connection "fast" is a relative statement. In its early days, 56k through your phone line was considered average, even quick. These days, the average internet connection speed hovers around 8Mbps, nearly 150 times the speed of a dial-up connection. But even that speed just isn't enough for some people, as evidenced by the invention of a new fiber optic technology capable of speeds passing 100 terabits per second (Tbps), which equates to 104,857,600Mbps.
