message: There is no source cited, and based on news articles, this happened in 2009/2010, not April 2011. 
"In April 2011 Verizon helped Janet upgrade 4 central locations to run at 100Gbit/s - the first national research and education network in the world to do so."
What about Internet2? I see on their wiki page that they had 100gbit in the backbone as early as 2006.   —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.36.29.67 (talk) 00:12, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: There were trials of the 100Gb/s technology in 2009/2010, and it was deployed on the production network in 2011. I believe that Internet2's 100Gb/s links were bundled 10Gb/s circuits, these refer to single 100Gb circuits. Jamesd (talk) 11:19, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

message: The relation to Alvey especially when intellectual property was concern needs to be detailed. -- enm 23:30 18 Aug 2006 (UTC)
:The only reliable source I can find about relationships between JNT and Alvey are with regards to funding of the initial US/UK/JANET/NSFnet link, and a contribution to the JANET Rainbow Books Jamesd (talk) 12:36, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

message: Is "Socialism" really a valid link from this page? It is a government-funded entity, but to link to "Socialism" seems rather political...  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.203.226.6 (talk) 00:14, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

message: I have a memory of Janet being named after a secretary at, I think, the JNT and it was reverse engineered to be the Joint Academic Network. Apepper (talk) 19:20, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I've seen various "sources" that say it was the name of the founder's secretary, yes. I don't know if there are any reliable sources around to back this up though. ~~ [ジャム][t - c] 19:32, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The official line is that it's from the Joint Academic NETwork, and that it was merely an amusing coincidence that the JNT secretary at the time was Janet.

thread_title:  Was Janet a backronym? 

message: I started using an X25 network in 1981-2 and I am sure it was Janet. I was at Reading uni doing a PhD and there was a large cube of a computer a GEC4040, if I remember correctly, in the physics dept that was a node for Janet. I had a 2.4kbaud link to that machine from my office. I think that Janet was available in 1981 and certainly 1982.  I used to link up to a DEC10 in Glasgow Strathclyde university using a program called ESP in the ABACUS dept.

message: We'll need a source for the "In the mid-80s the backbone was upgraded to 2 Mbit/s" content, as Janet's own https://www.jisc.ac.uk/janet/history page says that JANET backbone upgraded to 256Kbits/s in 1986 - scruss (talk) 14:38, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
