The Chinese Network

Chinese Universities, private companies, and the government created networked connections between all of the major cities in China. These connections currently offer extraordinarily high speed connections between Chinese Universities. They also offer around 3 to 64 K-Bytes per second across the globe, to the United States. I was using my internet connection a few weeks ago to download an upgrade from the Chinese Ubuntu mirror, and as I watched, the speeds reached up to 900 K-Bytes a second. That is fairly fast. I was and am still impressed by the quality of my network connection; It costs me around 1.5 Yuan per day.
