​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
