Internet speed record shattered at 178 terabits per second

[Binary_Bark]

The fastest internet speed in the world has been clocked at an incredible 178 terabits per second (Tb/s) – fast enough to download the entire Netflix library in under a second. Engineers in the UK and Japan have developed new ways to modulate light before it’s beamed down optical fibers, allowing for much wider bandwidths than usual.

That new top speed is an insane feat. It’s 17,800 times faster than the current fastest internet connections available to consumers – 10 Gb/s in parts of places like Japan, the US and New Zealand. Even NASA can’t compete, with its 400 Gb/s ESnet.

"7G"

Done.

Misleading title. Engineers develop proof-of-concept 178Tb/s interconnect. Not actually connected to internet.

Can’t wait for Rain to implement this in the future...capped to 10Mb.

Imagine the OOB!!! At least your ISP couldn't throttle you quick enough for exceeding the FUP.
