When you understand the limitation between the highest possible frequency and the possible bandwidth you may understand what you state is simply not possible with our current understanding without the highest frequency of Electromagnetic radiation we know about (Light itself) and the capability to handle this sort of frequency directly without having to downshift the frequency to the sort of frequencies (Like a LNB downshifts microwave frequencies, to those that can be coped with a coax cable) even the latest technology has no chance of your expectations.
Not wanting to get into a 'Science Off' with Graham but obviously we do know about higher frequencies than light and I thought this might interest others.
NASA will be testing x-ray communication technology in space with the potential to transmit Gigabits per second using very little power, it even has the capacity to penetrate radio-frequency shielding on the ground.
The technology is part of NavCube and should be on International Space Station in 2018.

BTW I don't see a problem with a little off topic conversation, it makes the forum more interesting.Pretty pedestrian speed

Yep that's fast, here in the sticks we have just got 4G mobile broadband (using our outside antenna) and I'm well impressed with that, we actually get what I'd call a decent speed, up to 50 megabits per second. (3G was terrible)
