World's Fastest Broadband Connection — 40 Gbps
Seems like what we think as a fast broadband connection is no longer fast enough...
A 75-year-old woman from Karlstad in central Sweden has been using a 40 Gbps internet connection! Sigbritt Löthberg is the mother of Peter Löthberg - a Guru when it comes to matters of the internet - who is proving rather effectively that fiber networks can deliver a cost-effective, ultra-fast connection. A 40Gbps connection can be used to either watch 1,500 HDTV channels simultaneously or even download a whole 24 GB DVD in two seconds!

No really can't imagine what would happen, blue screen instantly maybe? Or even hard-reset... :eek:
But then again I know a lot of people that do watch 1500 tv channels at the same time... :roll:
But yeah, its still pointless having 40gbs unless you have it all plugged in somekinda network switch and then somehow convert all that bandwidth into one single line, and then somehow plug that single cable into your PC... ahhh
still pointless....
unless you used 1gbps for yourself and then hosted a bunch o' crap on the other 39gbps. Like 1000 servers for games, and U/Led a bunch o' pr0n, all at the same time.
You'd also need.... like 1pb just for storage, cause of all the pr0n/music/games/pictures/word documents/excel spreadsheets you'd need to store.

Dammit I wish someone would have said that about me, but it's too bloody late now, post wise.
Arsewipes!
