In theory that's nice.....but this will never happen.....what they
mean is that it can go at those speeds.....just like LAN networks
can do 100Mbps.....somewhere you have to go on the internet
and that's where the fun starts. You really don't believe that
the power company is going get 5000Gbps lines to give all
their internet customers full speed access now do you?

So yes on the power network the speed is nice....but as soon
as you have to jump over to the WAN connection on the internet
it totaly depends on the capacity that is available and numbers of users that are using the infrastructure......

p.s. Sorry to burst your bubble
