How great would it be to take a walk down the street or visit your local park and not have to use that expensive cellular data to surf the internet? According to IFLS.com , the 'Smart Wi-Fi Pavement' pilot program developed by Virgin Media gives residents and tourists alike the option to log into the Wi-Fi and surf the net at speeds of 166 megabits per second, which basically means you can download a 45 minute episode on a streaming video site in about 35 seconds. Underground access points along the streets use a mixture of fiber optic and other next-gen cable technologies to create an ultra fast Wi-Fi connection that will reach about 260 feet from each access point.
