technically this is not the case.

It is Gbps

So for hosting, lets say you get 100Mbps , this is 100,000Mbps

Since 1 Gbps is 1000 Mbps and this is 100 Gbps

But yes. this is some advanced technology shit. I sell pretty high end SAN's and they typically transfer data at 10Gpbs for the highest rate, some in the public market can do 40Gbps with multi-10Gbps ports. A lot of companies like NetApp and Cisco have 100Gbps in the pipeline. So this means the technology already exists in R & D.
