Bolt_Gundam510 Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Scientists have set a new world record for data transmission by transferring a data rate of 2.56 Terabit per second over a glass fibre link of 160 km length.2,560,000,000,000 bits are equivalent to the contents of 60 DVDs.By comparison, the fastest high-speed links currently carry data at a maximum 40 Gbit/s, or around 50 times slower.The research was carried out at Fraunhofer Institute which also developed computers with Emotion sense.Source: Labnol{this is the highest i have found if you can find one that's faster make a new topic and post it but it has to be higher than 2.56 Terabit per second or higher} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rashad Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Bolt_Gundam510, The title of the article is misleading a little bit, check here it's data transmission record but not for Internet.The fastest link I could find is 16.4Tb/s SourceYet the fastest Internet connection is still the one with the old lady 40Gbps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marik Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 i would settle for even 1Gbps dl/up rate :dance2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgr8one Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 and over here i'm using a 512kbps connection speed! :dance2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAM AT&T DON'T HAVE IT OUT HERE AND COMCAST TO DAM HIGH!!!! :smoke: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonar Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 "We're considering giving her a 100 gigabits per second connection in the summer," said Hafsteinn Jonsson."Then she'll be able to dry all her neighbours' laundry too."Love how they joke about!
