World’s fastest Internet connection

One would expect to find the world's fastest residential Internet connection in the house of some tech-wiz or major network 'geek.' But facts are a bit different, the world's fastest internet connection can be found in the house of a nice 75 year old lady in Sweden. Her name is Sigbritt Löthberg and she is the mother of Peter Löthberg ( a famous Internet guru in Sweden ,) thus the logical explanation of why a nice old lady that didn't even had a PC until late, owns now the fastest Internet connection ever brought to a home.

So are you asking yourself why would anyone install a 40 Gbit/s (that's 5 GByte/s) optic fiber pipe to an old lady's house ? Is she going to download a DVD in less than a second ? Or maybe a full HD-DVD in less than 2 seconds ? Or watch 1500 HD streams in the same time ? Well it's quite unlikely, because she probably doesn't want to and well, HDDs today can't even read or write at such speeds. But theoretically she could do all those things.

So what's the point in 'wasting' all that bandwidth ? Well Peter Löthberg, together with Cisco (by the way, the guy works for Cisco) want to demonstrate a new technology that allows direct connections between routers as far as two thousand kilometers apart. By the use of this new modulation technology data can be transfered faster over unlimited distances they say.

I'd only wish that the next time a super-fast data transfer technology is discovered they'd test it on my Internet connection.Christina D. Gates writes articles on topics such as Who Invented Internet? and Airborne Internet Visit World’s fastest Internet connection.
