Sweden: 75-year-old Sigbritt Lothberg from Karlstad, who has never used a computer before, now has what is currently believed to be the fastest residential broadband in the world.

Her 40 gigabits-per-second fiber-optic connection is capable of downloading a HD-DVD film in two seconds. The connection was set up by her son, Peter Lothberg from Cisco, as a demonstration of a new router system.

According to Peter the new system will allow data transfer between routers without transponders over a range of 1,240 miles. The company "wanted to show that that there are no limitations to Internet speed."

It's a pretty old article, but 40 Gigs per second?! Thats ridiculous.
