Oh. I just realised that I didn't answer the core item of your question ^^
Have a look that this table on Wikipedia about Optical Fiber speeds :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiber-optic_communication#Parameters
So, when the speed itself speaks of Gigabits, Terabits and Petabits, does
it sound too "much"
when we're asking for 100 Megabits?
For the sake of information, this half pyramid might give an idea about the
number of bits involved:
Kilobit 1,024 bits
Megabit 1,048,576 bits
Gigabit 1,073,741,824 bits
Terabit 1,099,511,627,776 bits
Petabit 1,125,899,906,842,624 bits
Exabit 1,152,921,504,606,846,976 bits
Zetabit 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 bits
Yottabit 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 bits
