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.

China has this from what i have seen, they have been using fiber optics for a while now, but only at LAN party's and so. I think this is the first personal use of it... I WANT!

The age of the article doesn't keep me from drooling. For the rest of us, and some of you might have read this already, but for those who haven't, an Aussie has patented new cross-talk reduction methods, allowing current DSL networks to provide up to 250 Mbps, which is a speed normally reserved for pure fiber optics. biggrin.gif *keeps drooling*

Just think what a hacker could do with a connection like that! I imagine that old lady also has
the most secure internet connection in the world as well...

40gb/s is not that fast.
QUOTE (wikipedia)
OC-768 / STM-256x

OC-768 is a network line with transmission speeds of up to 39,813.12 Mbit/s (payload: 38,486.016 Mbit/s; overhead: 1327.104 Mbit/s).

OC-768 SONET interfaces have been available with short-reach optical interfaces from Cisco since as early as 2006. As of September 2007, Cisco will use OC-768 DWDM line cards from a third party. These line cards will plug into the Cisco chassis. These same line cards will also be made available to Siemens. These cards will use four Xilinx FPGA, a Power PC, a TI c6200 DSP, Four AMCC FEC, two DeMux and two Mux.

Infinera made a field trial demonstration data transmission on a live production network involving the service transmission of a 40Gb/s OC-768/STM-256 service over a 1,969 km terrestrial network spanning Europe and the U.S.


Though unused the standards go as high as 160gb/s

QUOTE (wikipedia)
OC-3072

Will be able to provide transmission speeds of around 159.25248 Gbit/s


Also note a 40gb/s connections is only 2.5GB/s which means a 80GB HD-DVD would take 32 Seconds. thus no where near the claimed 2 seconds.

For one, thats network speeds. Internet speeds dont fall into that because of distances, interference and so.

Also there is not backbone capable of supporting that much internet, so your isp would have to have 100's if not 1000's of connections to other isp's.
And what computer can handel thant much network speed. You would need a 5GB/s pci-x or pci-e card to even use that speed, and you pc couldn't but data to the hard drive at that speed with out some 20k rpm fiber-channel or SaS drives.

BTW This article may be false. The first use of 40gb/s connection of long distance was 9/18/2007 by Infinera.
