Comcast cable subscribers supposedly receive internet transmission speeds of between 105 and 150 mbps (i.e. megabites/second). Verizon Fios has the same top speed for premium customers. Experimentally, engineers using optical fibers have achieved 100 gigabits per second, but researchers at University College London have set a new record for data transmission of digital information—an astonishing 1.125 terabytes/second. Remember there are eight bits to a byte; so, 1.124 terabytes is almost 9 trillion bits per second. Computational biology and medicine, perhaps relying on graphene pore sequencers doing 66 billion bases per second, and supercomputers running at one quintillion calculations a second, need this level of data transmission to keep biomedicine rolling.
