Bandwidth Challenge - Caltech pushes 130 Gbps.

Dark Age of Broadband

One day people will look back at this period in our history as the Dark Age of Broadband and laugh at the rediculous amount of bandwidth we have been forced to accept as Super Fast Internet.
 
wow. just imagine how much it would cost to have that run on a telkom network.

k
Line rental: R90
Uberdubber service 130gb/s: a million or more a month? doesn't really matter it's a drop in the pond compared to the rest
Cap: 130 gb/s x (60 x 60 x 24 x 30) = 336,960,000 gb/m
Axxess 1gb = R99
Total cost for bandwidth = R 33,359,040,000.00 pm


So in the end your paying...... R 33,360,040,090.00 pm.

33 billion rands a month. Damn caltech need to come to za.
 
I could not find it, but what is the distance that they tested this link over. That is usally the biggest down fall when it comes to copper.
 
Don't panic, just take some blank DVDs and a burner and fly over there and download some stuff ;)
 
I dont think many if any Telco's networks could handle that kind of throughput today ....
 
I'm sure Telkom will read that article and come to their senses...
*Falls off chair while laughing*
 
Armitage with that kind of money, you might as well buy your own undersea fibre cables etc.

I think its safe to assume that it would only run on fibre.
 
Rikus "Windgat" Matthyser, head of marketing for TelyourmommyonyouInternet today challenged Caltech's results, claiming that TelyourmommyonyouInternet had recently exceeded these results in ideal conditions in the research lab.

He stated:

"The team has won the All-Africa Bandwidth Challenge with an official bandwidth usage of 1200bps ( bits/second ). This number is an average measured from a 128 byte transmission captured on punched cards and timed with a stopwatch. It was ratified by a jury consisting of Ivy and Papi who spent tea time counting ones and zeros manually. It was further verified by the Independent Electoral Commission ( in the continued absence of ICASA ), and confirms South Africa's place at the forefront of high-speed broadband internet. The test was run on TelyourmommyonyouInternet's latest Fastest Line Unbelievable Communications ( FLUC ) technology. South africans can sleep easy knowing that their telecommunications are in good hands."
