Download a full HD-DVD in 2 seconds!! :omg:

sweden have always kicked backside in the bandwidth stakes.

40Gbps is flucking amazing tho! imagine the amount of porn I could get.

[dannyc]

wow thats shit hot

**. It allows data to be transferred directly between two routers up to 2,000 kilometres apart, without any intermediary transponders.** Pretty unreal too. Would love to test this out!

[Karl]

who's HDD will actually allow that transfer rate?

[Scattle]

Bloody hell that's fast.

[Karl]

yes, but you think your HDD is gonna let you copy 40GB per second.

I dont thinnnnk sooooo

[saxodan]

would never happen here

still only a copper infrastructure inplace

and as soulless comented about the HDD

also they havent mentioned contension rates, and the website has the be able to have the facilites to allow data to be downloaded at that rate too!

would like to hear about this new modulation though.. as I did a lot on this in colege

[Mystic]

Yeh its great on paper, bu as has been mentioned your average Hard drive shifts what? Like 100Mbps or something? Im sure even the super expensive ones are only pedelling a couple Gbps.

Not to mention your home LAN is probably 100mbps, 1gbps tops & if you like your wifi you can forget fast transfer rates.

Unless shes the head of some major underground software / movie transfering then she will never even use 1% of that connection at any one time :err:

[Karl]

I'd love to see someones home PC copy 1 GB in a second.

good luck

[dannyc]

Im pretty sure the article is just giving us the capabilites of the connection not actually what the old begger is going to do with it.

Doesnt suprise me the connection is in sweden either.

[Karl]

yes but there isnt a PC widely available, i doubt there is one available at this moment in time which will allow a transfer of 40GB a second.

Well, I work for ntl Business and sell massive internet connections, point-to-point connections etc - nothing that big though.

I do notice from the article that it is fibre - but as mentioned before, contention would be interesting to find out. Typically here in the Uk - especially on ADSL broadband, contention is 50:1 (sharing the pipe with 50 people in your area), and you never get the speed you pay for unless you live in the telephone exchange!. (Eg, up to 8meg - prob get 4-6meg)

ntl currently run at 20:1, but I would hopefully assume that this 40Gig would be a dedicated internet line - ie, only their link to the internet - not shared.

We do these managed ones too - currently running up to a guaranteed 155Meg, but the way that ntl's network is developing, ntl residential are running up to 20meg now, we'll be doing 50meg next year and 100megthe following.

Bet the router with that capacity would be hella expensive though considering a Cisco router (34meg) is anout £5000

Makes you wonder how PC's will shape up to keep up with these download speeds though...

fibre yes

UK is run on copper

not a chance with current DSL

I mentioned contention ;)

Yes, Finally used this pic

current wireless standandards only support up for 54mbs?

New one I think its 802.11 (n)? Or is it (g) not sure

will support 108mbs and thats not due out untill early 2008

[saxodan]

go back to drawing houses in paint adam ;) this is big boys stuff

Think its higher than that now, iv had 108mbps at home for a year or 2 now (how ever long iv had this router), Scott just bought a new router, he might know what the new ones are upto.

[Karl]

can buy 802.11g which supports up to 108mbps...
the most commonly used atm are 802.11b and 802.11g, the stuff you buy from a store is more than likely to be g that runs @ 54mbps.

Its not G is N

802.11n
The newest IEEE standard in the Wi-Fi category is 802.11n. It was designed to improve on 802.11g in the amount of bandwidth supported by utilizing multiple wireless signals and antennas (called MIMO technology) instead of one.
When this standard is finalized, 802.11n connections should support data rates of over 100 Mbps. 802.11n also offers somewhat better range over earlier Wi-Fi standards due to its increased signal intensity. 802.11n equipment will be backward compatible with 802.11g gear.

Pros of 802.11n - fastest maximum speed and best signal range; more resistant to signal interference from outside sources
Cons of 802.11n - standard is not yet finalized; costs more than 802.11g; the use of multiple signals may greatly interfere with nearby 802.11b/g based networks.

On the BT network.. Back in the day of diamond cable they put down fibre optic cable now called virgin media all they would need to do is replace the line from your house to the box which is co-axe :P

old coaxiale lol

im sure its still all copper cabling.. not many are fibre optic yet

[FILVTR]

Copper for BT only. ntl runs fibre (except phones) eg, broadband uses CATV cable

Ntl have a "21st century" network of fibre which cost £13.9 Billion and spread over 250,000km in the Uk

[hellonpluto]

Its 40 Giga BITS per second which is equivalent to 5 Giga BYTES per second

Still fast as fuck!!


1 Gbps is 0.125 GBps (giga bytes)

[b0t13]

its fucking fast either way, im gonna welcome it and not complain like u lot ;)
