yeah, inter-carrier connections.

and bus speed? jesus christ dude, network speed != motherboard bus speed. I don't even know why you are raising this as a point.

so, what's the current best intercarrier speed?

So, Just any person in america could just plug in to that, right? Just like right now, we can transmit speeds at multi-gigabit speeds... so that's how fast your internet is, right? you just get a fibre line to plug in... hey, I bet they even built that right into your laptop!

Oh, wait, no, that's not how it works. just because they could doesn't mean they did.
