[QUOTE=demoguy08;29571058]How was this measured? There's no RAM in the world that comes anywhere close to that bandwidth, let alone a harddrive.
Explain the the technology behind this before rating me dumb or you're giving yourself a box aswell. Just a hint.[/QUOTE]
Maybe they are just sending the same data repeatedly trillions of times, with that data stored in the CPU's internal memory?
[QUOTE=Laserbeams;29569352]Actually, you probably can.[/QUOTE]
you'd probably be limited by hdd speeds
I think they should stop trying to make internet faster and focus more on extending it out further into the country so that I can get good internet. I live on a fucking ranch basically. Nearest neighbor is a half mile away.
I have Sprint mobile internet. :smith:

80-120 kb/s erryday. :snoop:
[QUOTE=Smug Bastard;29581684]How is this possible? Don't get me wrong, I believe it's totally possible for the connection itself to be that fast, but wouldn't the read/write speeds of the hard disk get in the way?[/QUOTE]
In a real world situation it would be serving millions of computers so no.
Oh, if only I could get more than 124 kb/s. :smith:
[QUOTE=demoguy08;29573701]How do you process the data then? I'm just curious.[/QUOTE]
Here's [i]your[/i] hint: when measuring bandwidth, the actual contents of the data are irrelevant.
Now only if the damn cable companies would actually put money into the infrastructure we would be good.
Well considering how amazing bandwidth speeds we now call normal were back in the day and how most people have it, we can only wait until this becomes normal. Which'll be a great day.
I don't like internet providers.
I pay for 25mb/s and i get 1mb/s
I pay for 25, $200 a month, and it very rarely hits that. Right now it's hitting 22.4Megs a second but that's because it's after 2 AM. The lines are so over sold and crowded that it slows way down during the day. A lot of the times less than half a meg down with 80% packet loss and stays that way all day. And besides the point, the whole reason I got broadband is for gaming, and while the downloads can be quick, the time it takes to send and receive information is sometimes slower than 56k. Right now I can join a server and have a 130 ping, and the conditions are perfect

Nearly 300 million m/s !!
[QUOTE=smurfy;29568653]That's 12.71 terabytes per second
Well golly sir[/QUOTE]
Think about gaming/computer/internet industry with this, you could play on japanese server while being in Finland and still have ping under 10.
[QUOTE=The_Putty;29569328]Meanwhile in Australia you're better off using snail mail then sending an email[/QUOTE]
Speak for yourself mate, my net is fine. What's wrong with unlimited 24mb/s? Not even expensive.
I hate my 8mbit.
People need to understand that just because you are paying for 24mbps doesn't mean you are going to get it, it depends on a number of factors such as:
The distance you are from your exchange
The type of cabling that is used
The quality of cabling used in-side your house
20MB/s will do me.
Bullshit journalism again. They said nothing about how they read out the data.
Those terrabits is what they put in.

Yea I was going to say that, you would need some serious equipment to read that much data, saving it is another story, hard drive speeds aren't THAT great.

Ping is not totally bandwidth related.
[QUOTE=Van-man;29568634]And I'm still stuck on a copper line from the 1970's :smith:[/QUOTE]
My ISP has a couple paper cups with a string stretched between them
fibre optic and laser transmission technology is in its infancy, this news is nothing
as Vint Serf has said
99% of the applications for the internet have yet to be invented
anyway, what makes any of you think that bandwidth will be there for your current use
100 Mbps master race :q:
constant 2.5mb/s exactly what I get and worth it. 500gb cap

Well, what did you expect from New Scientist?
Meh, this was done in a lab.
At TG11 however, we got 100gbits. How often do you get to max out a speedtest server?

Australia sucks. 200Kbps all the time.

As said in the article, both methods use multiple separate streams of information sharing one fiber. They are split without any processing and processed separately one by one.

And this is from the server closer to me:
