...belongs to a 75 year old lady in Stochholm, Sweden reaching 40 gigabits/sec.
| quote: | STOCKHOLM, Sweden (AP) -- She is a latecomer to the information superhighway, but 75-year-old Sigbritt Lothberg is now cruising the Internet with a dizzying speed.
Lothberg's 40 gigabits-per-second fiber-optic connection in Karlstad is believed to be the fastest residential uplink in the world, Karlstad city officials said.
In less than 2 seconds, Lothberg can download a full-length movie on her home computer -- many thousand times faster than most residential connections, said Hafsteinn Jonsson, head of the Karlstad city network unit.
Jonsson and Lothberg's son, Peter, worked together to install the connection.
The speed is reached using a new modulation technique that allows the sending of data between two routers placed up to 1,240 miles apart, without any transponders in between, Jonsson said.
"We wanted to show that that there are no limitations to Internet speed," he said.
Peter Lothberg, who is a networking expert, said he wanted to demonstrate the new technology while providing a computer link for his mother.
"She's a brand new Internet user," Lothberg said by phone from California, where he lives. "She didn't even have a computer before."
His mother isn't exactly making the most of her high-speed connection. She only uses it to read Web-based newspapers.

Yeah, find me a server that will deliver so fast and a harddrive that can corespond.. Useless to have such high speeds :rolleyes:
But otherwise, total pwnage!!!!111
40Gbps ftw :toothless |

| Its wrong to say that a full length movie can be downloaded in less than 2 seconds. On internet there are a number of routers/network connections and not all network connections have 40gpbs speed to support file transfer at that speed. Secondly the server should have enough buffer capacity and bandwidth to upload the data so the other end could read at the same speed. |

| From my experience of the internet in general, Most server's always limited me at 1mb per second. Downloading a full length movie even with a connection like that is still only as fast as the server want's it to be. |

| What a pig haha - this is why you need X-core processors in the future. Hard drives ? Why have a hard drive is you can stream at a ridiculous rate. (of course this means someone will have to know what you have on your drive ...probably Google) |
