It exceeds the average download speed in Spain by almost 2.6 million times.
Japan’s National Institute of Information and Communications Technology has set a new Internet speed record. It reached 420,000,000 Mbpsenough for Load Red Dead Redemption 2, Baldur’s Gate 3, and Fallout 4 together in less than a tenth of a secondThe average download speed in Spain is 178 Mbps, which would be almost 2.6 million faster.
It is currently impossible to get through on home Internet.
The Japanese organization achieved this by using 50 km of fiber optics and amplifiers. It wasn’t really cutting-edge technology that was used here, but rather technology that was available to the public, but in colossal quantities. The controlled bandwidth was 37.6 THz.which is more than 100,000 times the capabilities of Wi-Fi 7.
Thanks to all this they managed to achieve 420,000,000 Mbps, which is equivalent to 402 Tbps or 50.35 TB/s.This figure exceeds the previous record set in October last year by 25%.
Can you imagine what can be done with such speed? Well, we regret to inform you that The home computer cannot reach it at this time.The infrastructure is not even remotely prepared for this, and there is no PC or motherboard on the market that can handle this speed.
The Internet appeared in Spain in the mid-90s.but it was only with the advent of ADSL that it began to spread throughout the territory. This new technology allowed for higher speeds, which in the case of powerful ADSL reached 35 Mbps.
ADSL accompanied us for more than a decade until it was almost completely replaced by fiber optics in the mid-2010s. We’ve gone from a maximum speed of 35MB to most operators offering 1GB (1000MB) and Digi is already offering 10Gbps from 2021, so perhaps in the future we’ll look back with nostalgia at numbers closer to 402Tbps; although if that’s possible, it’s still a long way off.
