Have you ever thought your internet speeds were too slow? We have news to tell you "its about the fastest internet in the World to make you feel worse. Researches at University College London have set a new World record for the fastest internet in the World at 178 Terabits per second(Tbps) That's 178,000 GPS.
This project was conducted by Dr. Lidia Galdino from the Royal Academy of Engineering, Xtera, and Kiddi Research. Earlier, there were reports of the fastest internet speeds in Australia which were recorded at 44.2 Tbps. This new speed is almost four times faster
So what can you do with 178 Tbps speed? You can download EVERYTHING on Netflix, and we mean literally everything, in just one second. To tap into such insane speeds, UCL researchers applied a higher range of wavelengths instead of the standard optic fiber optics and used newer amplified technology to boost the signal farther while amplifying it. The current normal infrastructure that’s in place for the internet we use, uses a bandwidth of 4.5THz. A new 9THz commercial bandwidth has just shown up in some markets. This super-fast internet uses a 16.8THz bandwidth to get that 128Tbps speed. With speeds like this, one can only assume that all of it is a rather expensive process? Apparently not. According to UCL, upgrading these amplifiers costs only a fraction of what it costs to install fiber optic cables.
However, this is experimental and as of now this technology is not going to be put Commercial use now
