So last year, some 75 year old Swedish woman managed to get herself the worlds fastest internet connection in the world at 45Gb (http://www.thelocal.se/7869/20070712/).

Well, those damned Swedes are about to outdo themselves. This summer, that same woman is going to get boosted to a full 100Gb (http://www.thelocal.se/10810/20080331/).

In case you are wondering what she would use such a connection for, she uses it to dry her laundry. Apparently, the equipment produces a fair amount of heat.

What the hell Sweden?

EDIT: I forgot to link the second article.

It's a tossup between sending them an angry letter and total carpet bombing...I just can't seem to find a quarter.

The worst that could happen with an angry letter is the reader could get very upset. Although, that is still quite extreme. Maybe we should send a calm, rational letter, outlining our views, then include a nice smilie face at the bottom.

Bah, internets. I don't see what's so great about all that "speed;" carrier pigeons were good enough for my father, and his father, and they're good enough for me.

I think we all are.

Though my roommate brings up a good point: at that point, your computer processor can't even keep up. Not that you really need to - even if your CPU can't keep up, maxed out it's still ridiculous.

Or a very angry and potentially racist/classist letter with a nice smiley at the bottom. I think it is established that smilies are shields against any backlash.

You half-brained simpleton. :D

Only temporarily. I know that I would have yearned for a connection as fast as in college when I still was on 56k. Now I gnash my teeth about its slowless.

My home connection is still 56kb (though the 5hr timeout has finally been removed) :p.

She could always set up a web cafe, that connection could easily support 50-100 high end computers.
