When will we be here!!!

World’s Fastest Broadband residential connection is in Karlstad, Sweden. SigbrittL�thberg's home has been supplied with a blistering 40 Gigabits per second connection, that can be used to either watch 1,500 HDTV channels simultaneously or even download a whole 24gb Blue-Ray in two seconds !!!

Meanwhile, in SA... 256kbps is considered "broad"band...

Also, not really relevant, but DVD's only take 8.5GB each, (or 17GB if it's double-sided, dual layer which you almost never get).

Must've meant a single-layer blu-ray. *shrugs*

 

[Yuu]

With HDD pricing , this is going to cost some extra money hehe, otherwise its cheaper to fly to Sweden and back after downloading what you need then waiting for S.A to even get something remotely close.

So probably after 2 or 3 generations of our children have lived so we won't get to see it

/being an optimist , we will get 20MB at some point so better than nothing

Now this is something we can only dream about right now, you would think that being 2012 we would be in a position to take advantage of what the latest technology has to offer, with all the undersea cables in place you would also think that our capacity would have increased as well as the DL speeds ...once again in our dreams !

I eagerly await the day when we do not have to rely on the Gov of the day or Telkom for our Internet needs and we have a decent CHOICE of Internet speeds and providers ...can only dream

I was thinking about it last night, why do the first world countries need to pirate when they have access to High Quality items delivered to their front door via super fast internet and HD movie services.

I saw one provider that for $29 p/m and you get 1500 HD channels!!

No my dear, a normal DVD is 4.3 GB and a dual layer is 8.5 GB... the 24 GB that he was talking about is a Blue-Ray disk!!!

Those providers don't show the latest movies immediately. When you get these movies easy and cheaply like that then you not satisfied with stuff the showed at the movies 6 months ago, you want the movie the same time it comes out at the cinema!

I know the appartments at century city in Cape Town now comes with a fiber optic line installed for Internet. Not sure what their bandwith is though, but you pay like hell for it. One bedroom appartment there goes for +- R 3.5 mil.

Didn't rpm say that he was going to ban people who started threads like this?

I can seriously not think why we are so throttled here in SA. I mean, we are not far behind with cars, don't think we are behind with architecture, and buildings, we have qualified people. Can it really be the government that throttle it, and why? Just because most of them still don't understand what the internet is?
