While USB 3.0 is capable of hitting a theoretical maximum of 4.8Gbps where info transfer rates are concerned, NEC is unhappy with that and recently claimed that they are capable of touching the 14.8Gbps mark. that was made possible thanks to their R&D team that re-engineered some very technical aspects of signal transmission in order to expand the amount of goods that can be successfully transmitted. It seems that both PCI Express and USB standards could take advantage of that newly established ceiling. Hmm, does that mean USB 3.1 is the winner that instance round?

Virgin Media has introduced a sort new dongle that was specially designed to offer mobile broadband speeds of up to 7.2Mbps, which is its theoretical maximum although there are no reviews on said device just yet. Still, that is at best double the maximum speed of its previous 3.6Mpbs dongle, so hopefully users will get a much more enjoyable World Wide Web browsing experiences while they’re on the go. Depending on your budget, you can choose from a documents allowance of either 1GB or 3GB monthly which is going for £8 and £12, respectively.
