UK scientists have created the fastest ever internet connection

[Neo]

Scientists in the UK have created the fastest ever real-world internet connection, using commercial-grade fibre optic lines to clock up speeds of 1.4 terabits per second.

It’s believed to be the fastest speed test of its kind, and would allow users to hypothetically download 44 high-definition films in a single second. Downloading the entire English version of Wikipedia would take just 0.006s.

A joint research team from French telecoms company Alcatel-Lucent and BT created the connection using an existing 410km-stretch of fibre optic cable between BT Tower in London and a BT research campus in Suffolk.

Using a new protocol named Flexigrid the researchers were able to overlay several transmission channels over the same connection. The resulting ‘Alien Super Channel’ was comprised of seven 200 gigabit per second connections, increasing transmission efficiency by 42.5 per cent when compared to previous efforts.

The researchers' use of existing hardware is integral, as it will allow telecoms companies to meet the UK’s ever-increasing demand for faster internet speeds without having to replacing existing optical fibres.

Not interested in that crap, how many Maria Ozawa movies is that per minute?

How long would it then take one of TD's less mentally resilient to then quote the whole thing in response to a politics or science post?

Que? :blink:

If she never stopped sucking, she still couldn't satisfy its lust for more...

data overload .....................

It's only going to get faster and in a few years 1.4tbs might seem quaintly slow, but I wonder if the infrastructure is geared to handling such speeds.

True just introduced a 1.4tbs connection for 699 a month

That's 1.4 Thaibits per second

You are just jealous because Belgium was not involved. Oh wait ............ The EU was sitting in Strasbourg at the time.

Alcatel: Hello BT, can we come over? We have something interesting to show you.

Well they'll make billions of the tech selling to the military, that you can be assured..
