Fantastic! Where do I sign up? I am watching my 173 MB download creep along at 30 KB/sec. Net is a bit slow here today, but hey, it happens. Whenever it does, I just think back to the days of dial up and then everything is okay again.
 
sadly it will be a very long while yet, its being used by a group of 200 universities in the US.

basically you would see download speeds of 6630 KB/s using Internet2, well its nice to know at least whats coming round the corner..
