How Fast is Your Internet Connection?

Those of us who have been surfing the Net since Mozilla was born complain constantly about how heavy Internet traffic is. It takes several seconds to reach sites which used to pop up in a nano-second. Of course, it's all relative, isn't it?!?

12 years ago, a 2400 baud dial up connection was considered fast and a 20 mb hard drive was huge. (Would we ever be able to use all that storage?) This year Internet2 is celebrating the fifth anniversary of its SEGP program. If your school can access Internet2, you will be amazed at how much faster your media rich content downloads. You need to sign up your school if you haven't already done so.
