"transfer 6.7 gigabytes of data -- the equivalent of two DVD movies -- across 6,800 miles in less than a minute. "

"The team was able to transfer uncompressed data at 923 megabits per second for 58 seconds"

So that means that if they transmitted it at 923mbps it took about 7 and a half seconds!
Restraining orders are just another way of saying I love you!

When I grow up, I would also like to be able to say "my internet connection is faster than my hard drive".

Lorddef:

You are confuzing megabit and megabyte.
Bit is normally shortened with b and byte
with B.

114 MByte/s x 8 ~ 900mbit.
