It's really disappointing how slow broadband is in the UK and USA compared to say South Korea. In South Korea they are aiming to have a 1Gbps broadband,rolled out nationwide by 2012.They already have this in parts of Seoul and other urban areas.In the UK 50 M bps is the quickest available.That is 20 times slower than South Korea!

We must look further into what we send to increase speeds too...as imagine...an alsa player in linux plays cd's etc forwards or backwards, plus speeds up or slows down the contents of the cd...when the cd is spun at a high rate...and an md5 checksum verifys the contents...then the contents can be sent at this high rate...say higher than 40,000 cycles per second...recieved, the slowed down again to a 40 cycles per second, but the sender only sent for a split second, what eventually too 30 minute
