1 Gbps pipe speeds up campus downloads

PipeCollege of the Desert in Palm Desert, CA just got the hook up to a 1 Gbps internet link, which means speeds capable of downloading a movie in about a second. The school had to lay nearly 400 miles of fiber-optic cable to achieve that kind of killer bandwidth speed. The upgrade was much needed as the school was having to ration out bandwidth, which sounds fairly normal to me for many schools. I don't know what school wouldn't love this kind of backbone to the Internet. College of the Desert is the third community college campus that has received this type of speed recently, which has made things easier for professors and students. Video-conferencing and other applications, such as campus-wide high-speed wifi or easy podcasting tools. Imagine how fast you could download every piece of software we have ever featured on Download Squad. That's fast.
