You think 1MB Internet is fast.. Sep 16, 2010
How'bout 1000 times faster :shock:

(CNN) -- If you want the fastest internet connection in America, it may be wise to skip Silicon Valley and New York. Instead, look to southern Tennessee.

The unlikely city of Chattanooga says it began offering one-gigabit-per-second internet upload and download speeds Monday, a rate it says is the fastest in the United States.


In a related story,


"Gulf News - Etisalat and Du, the world's most reknown and highly praised internet provider companies have announced that because they value their customers they will be jointly launching the same service in the year 2132. To show appreciation for its customers it will begin the launch by providing VIP registration as early as 2082 to be followed by Platnum subscription in 2097 and Gold subscription in 2023.

A survey conducted by this paper shows that 98% of the present customers are satisfied with Etisalat and Du services and can't wait for the new ultra fast service to arrive so they can subscribe".

I don't make the news; just report it. It makes perfect sense for the UAE (gold before platnium and VIP's) :D

it doesnt really matter how fast it is what matters is the cost??

Du/Etisalat control the cost and when compare with other countries it is too much and thats where local business setups suffer alot!!

Seriously, for companies that have such crazy high margins and net profit, they're quite behind the curve when it comes to technology. And yes, their PR engines manage to make everything seem like a superhuman feat that nobody else anywhere in the world could have achieved.
