🤯 A new mind-blowing Internet speed record

The Internet just got 4 million times faster.

by Louis Eriakha Oluwaseun Bamisile Kelechi Edeh Ogbonda Chivumnovu

Could you imagine downloading a 200 GB game like Call of Duty in just a millisecond? Okay, that may not happen any time soon. But Japanese scientists are testing a new 19-core fiber-optic cable, thinner than a pencil, that crams 19 data channels into a single strand, allowing massive speeds without the need for new infrastructure.

The result is a world record speed of 1.02 petabytes per second (about 125,000 GB/s), which is 4 million times faster than the average home internet speed in the United States (about 242.38 Mbps, according to Speedtest).

Of course, most people may not need petabyte speeds in their living rooms, but with AI, crypto trading platforms, live streaming, cloud computing, smart cities, IoT, and autonomous vehicles all needing lightning-fast internet with low-latency connectivity, the breakthrough helps future-proof the global internet and could easily become the backbone for everything.
