It would have been nice if the reporter bothered to mention that "Internet 
speed records" are measured in terabit meters per second. An article 
about "Internet speed records" that doesn't include the actual record, or even 
a definition of the term "Internet speed record", is hardly deserving of 
placement on the front of cnn.com. Slow news day?

I'm sorry to inform you guys that cnn.com just picked this up
from the BBC, yesterday.  And the Beeb got the spin wrong, 
too.
