The visitor centre also features what BT reckons is the world's fastest internet café. The café's computers are able to download data at speeds of up to 100Mbps - 50 times faster than a typical broadband installation at home.

Visitors to the satellite Earth station, which attracts more than 80,000 people per year, can use the superfast facilities of the internet café free of charge. Here a visitor logs onto silicon.com on one of the 12 iMacs.
