Surfing the Web at 40 gigabits-per-second

Figured here was a good as place to post this an anywhere.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lothberg's 40 gigabits-per-second fiber-optic connection in Karlstad is believed to be the fastest residential uplink in the world, Karlstad city officials said.

In less than 2 seconds, Lothberg can download a full-length movie on her home computer -- many thousand times faster than most residential connections, said Hafsteinn Jonsson, head of the Karlstad city network unit.

2 sec of full movies downloads huh? Cool stuff.m_machine024

chances are you won't get that full speed because other networks on the internet will limit you.

I was wondering the same thing plus having such a connection does not improve surfing speed because these online servers don't have the capacity. You still wouldn't be able to download faster than 3 megs and lower.

I wonder how my online games will run then...ProductNumber49

still laggy if one mofo is trying to jerry rig a 28k modem to play XBL.... is on your team or game.

Wow. It takes me an hour to downloa 50 MB.Willy105

Really, wow thats a slow connection. I have a 20mb line and downloaded a 550mb file is less than 10 mins.
