Southern Cross and Nortel have been trialing 40Gbps waves on the 8000km segment from Hawaii to New Zealand. http://www.itnews.com.au/News/152866,southern-cross-trials-40gbps-nortel-kit.aspx The 8000km segment is a LONG way - a very long way but it should mean stability for any cable system (I'm not sure there are segments that are much longer on any other system) - the bandwidth limit hasn't been hit yet!

Well, the funny thing is that when I approached bandwidth buyers at some well known publicly traded carriers, they told me that 40 gig waves across the Atlantic were impossible. Quite common response. Indeed, when we decided to launch LAN PHY 10 GigE, the builder of our cable system told us it wasn't possible.
