... amazingly, Google.com is allowing their domain name to be used. And it's not even April 1 !!!!!

32Mbs internet speed is slow compared to the satellite launched by Japan today for internet speeds of 1.2 gigabytes per second.

This was an April Fool's joke by Google a couple of years ago. The page is still up. It is not real, as anyone would know who read the pages.

When you consider that data coming from the Internet through a fast "pipe" is usually going to your hard drive (as file downloads or into the browser cache), you'll need a striped RAID array of hard drives to keep up with it. Most new home PC's have SATA hard drives in them. The highest sustained write speed using a single SATA drive is ~90 MB/s for a Solid State unit like the Mtron Pro 7000's (http://www.neostore.com/SearchResults.asp?Method=Category&Value=Solid%20State%20Disks) that start at USD$760 for a 16 GB model.

Also, 80 - 90 Mbits/s is the maximum sustained rate you'll see on a 100 Mb Ethenet port, and 800 - 900 Mbits/s is what a Gigabit port can sustain.

There isn't any consumer-class network hardware that supports 1.2 GigaBytes/s on a regular PC bus.

Throughput, an Internet cable or optical fiber bytes per second are never close in relation to actual download speed.

Realistically, for example, a 4Mbs comcast broadband connection results in a 375-450Kbs actual file transfer rate to the Hard Drive.

Fiber optic connections @ 30Mbs is common in populated areas for household use in most populated areas providing Internet, telephone, security, video, digital audio, and television simultaneously.

haha, you got me. It took me a few seconds to realize that it couldn't be true. I have to admit, it is very funny and It could eaisily trick someone who was bad with computers.

Google TiSP (short for Toilet Internet Service Provider) was a fictitious free broadband service supposedly released by Google. This service would make use of a standard toilet and sewage lines to provide free Internet connectivity at a speed of 8 Mbit/s (2 Mbit/s upload) (or up to 32 Mbit/s with a paid plan). the user would drop a weighted end of a long, Google-supplied fiber-optic cable in their toilet and flush it. Around 60 minutes later, the end would be recovered and connected to the Internet by a "Plumbing Hardware Dispatcher (PHD)." The user would then connect their end to a Google-supplied wireless router and run the Google-supplied installation media on a Windows XP or Vista computer ("Mac and Linux support coming soon"). Alternatively, a user could request a professional installation, in which Google would deploy nanobots through the plumbing to complete the process. The free service would be supported by "discreet DNA sequencing" of "personal bodily output" to display online ads that relate to culinary preferences and personal health. Google also referenced the cola-and-Mentos reaction in their FAQ: "If you're still experiencing problems, drop eight mints into the bowl and add a two-liter bottle of diet soda."
