If you’re frustrated by a slow wi-fi connection you could consider moving…

…to the moon.

Scientists from NASA and MIT have developed a way to create a wi-fi hotspot on the moon and the speed is faster than an earth-connection. Scientists say the signal could be used to transfer large amounts of data or even stream hi-definition video….no buffering.

Maybe someday we can get that here on earth.
