Lost in speed
Tech2 said:Imagine downloading a 1GB movie in about 0.2 milliseconds. That could very well be a possibility after a team of researchers at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), were able to transmit 43 terabits (Tb) per second over a single optical fiber with just one laser transmitter.
To give you a better idea of the speeds here, 43Tbps equals a transfer rate of around 5.4 TB per second, somewhere around 5,300 GBs. We won’t fault you for reading that sentence twice. In contrast, the previous record was 26 terabits per second set by Germany’s Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in 2011.
World’s fastest 43Tbps Internet connection can let you download 1GB in 0.2 milliseconds - Tech2
This makes it about a 1000 times faster than Google Fiber which tops at a speed of 1000mbits/second.
