World's Fastest Broadband Connection — 40 Gbps

HellasVagabond · Jul 12, 2007

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!

I too have Verizon, but I live out in the sticks. All they offer to me is 56K Dial-up.

I dont get it.....whats a 75y/o lady doing with a 40Gbps net connection?????

On another note.....last time I checked. the reason why most of the E.U didnt have a an Uber fast Cigar Smoking Godfather of a net connection was that FIBER netwoks were way to expensive to implement... also Fiber needs to be changed after every few years or so as the signal strength degrades......

how do I know this???? I studied a HND in telecommunications.....

Asside from countries such as Asia (china, Korea, Tiwan etc) & some neibouring countries such as russia & so on their countries are still pretty much in development. & nobody can deny that asia aint rich!!!! everything is made in china these days.

So germany getting Fiber comes to me as a suprise......

Sweet fast speed. But unuseable.

HellasVagabond · Jul 12, 2007

EU has been using Fiber Optics for quite some time now...Even Greece does

Steevo i wish i had it...Would save too much on electricity

yeah, it would take like 5 different pipelines to feed it.

Quick Note

FYI:
The posting states "A 40Gbps connection can be used to either watch 1,500 HDTV channels simultaneously or even download a whole 24gb DVD in two seconds !!!"

In the SlashDot article it says nothing of a "24gb DVD in two seconds" -- That's Blu-Ray. Slashdot said an HD DVD. That's because an HD DVD holds 15GB (single-layer) of data and a 40Gbps connection is 40 Gigabits per second not 40 Gigabytes per second. When you convert 40 Gigabits to Gigabytes you get 5 Gigabytes (by dividing by 8). Hence, it would actually take 3 seconds (5Gbytes x 3 = 15-Gbyte HD DVD)... and nearly 5 seconds for Blu-Ray.

But, a 40Gbps connection is blazingly fast, nonetheless.

Both the posting and SlatDot are a bit inaccurate.

LOL...I never copy paste other peoples posts my friend and an HDDVD can be from 15 GB to 40 GB so i chose the BD version

Pardon my injudicious copying and pasting. I am learning forum etiquette.

I've posted again. I guess that takes care of the "flame once" theory.

If posting coherent information concerning the subject matter is considered "flaming"... you can look forward to more of my flaming in the near future.

wow...thats flipp'n fast for an internet connection...my folks pay for 768Kb/s (yes, very slow) and it's only like 400-something. :shadedshu

whats the point when harddrives can't write that fast??? Sustained write speed of around 150MBps on most harddrives (quality ones anyway).

HellasVagabond · Jul 13, 2007

Lets just say that i could download the things i do in a day in a minute and have the computer shut down for the rest of the day

That's why you have ram, to buffer things. Problem with that is, the fastest connection she can make is 1Gbps, since that's all the current network controllers can handle. I'm connected at 1Gbps to my router. My friend who works in IT land says 10Gbps is the next thing. It's great that fiber can offer this, but our current network cards can't handle it.
