Monster's Digital life usb 2.0 cables support 800 Mbps - how?
Monster® claims that their "Digital life" usb 2.0 cables support +800 Mbps which is almost twice as fast as the usb 2.0 certified speed of 480 Mbps.
See here Digital Life™ High Performance Mini USB Cables - High Speed
Are they outright lying?  If not how is this possible?  Everything I have ever read on usb 2.0 suggest the limit is 480 Mbps. | My System Specs |

I wonder how many people buy these cables expecting to get faster throughput only to find out that their fancy new cable is so much faster.....but they'll never see that extra speed. Monster sure is good at scamming people. A Co-worker of mine recently purchased one of their hdmi cables $39.99 for 3.39 feet what a ripoff. I promptly told her to take it back. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Asus

This kind of snake-oil marketing is rampant in the audio world.....Monster is one of many offenders. I would never buy anything from them. | | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop
