"3,696 CDs per second", "77 music CDs" - Chances are, if you're reading the Technology section of news, you're going to know a better unit then "music CDs" to describe data.
They have to write the articles in a way so that everyone understands them.
Hopefully this will actually become available, and not something for richer than rich people to have.
As if these breakthroughs ever do anything. ISP's are lazy fuckers and would charge extortionate prices for it anyway.

I'm only 50 mi from New York, where Time Warner gives you 25 Mb/s for like 25$ plus cable and phone. I'm thinking of buying a really long extension cord.

This is for the infrastructure from major server to major server and what not. This isn't something you have hooked up to single buildings.

Data "bursts".
"Hey guys! We developed the fastest connection on the planet! Only downside is that your upload will still be absolutely shit."
[I]The fibre is very likely full duplex, you could easily send and receive 512gbit/s in 24 channels each (24 for upload, 24 for download) making a total download and upload capacity for one fibre 12.3Tbps. Of course, connections slower than this (peering and such) will mean that getting anywhere near that speed will be impossible until most of the internet has similar technology.

Too bad all the companies around here don't use fiber and aren't willing to upgrade.
