US Internet, a small American company, claims it will offer the fastest Internet in the world. Since it is hard to measure this against every other Internet access system in the world, the claim is impossible to prove.

According to a company announcement on December 24:

US Internet redefines the phrase “broadband internet” with the launch of it’s [sic] new 10GB internet service available to residential and small business owners, the fastest service the world has ever seen.

The launch of our US Internet’s 10 GBPS service will make Minneapolis the first City in the World to receive access to the internet at a speed never seen in the before, with matching download and upload speeds.

From a recent study the US ranks 31st in the world in download speed (av. 20.77 GBPS), compared to Hong Kong who holds the number position at 72.49 GBPS, UNTIL NOW!

US Internet provides: $399 per month guarantees our premier service, which includes all customer equipment and management assured excellent customer service.

Competitors 2014 / 2015: GOOGLE is introducing a similar network in 2017; VERIZON is currently testing their 10G GBPS, but have no implementation date; US INTERNET is tested and ready to be in your home’s [sic] at effective December 18th 2014 — sign up now!

However, even the best media among the tech press see the value of the product. Ars Technica said:

The potential value, though, isn’t in being able to support sustained multigigabit Web throughput for single home users—indeed, there’s essentially nothing on the World Wide Web that needs ten gigabits of throughput. Rather, the promise of effectively unlimited bandwidth gives creative users the ability to use computers in ways that “normal” Internet speeds prohibit—particularly sharing video and other multimedia content. Massively increasing the speeds at the end-points of the Internet and removing the bottlenecks to large-scale sharing of video and other files lets users do more creative things with their data, including potentially running their own servers.

How many people want to run their own servers?
