Aston University researchers shatter records of internet speed
Internet 4.5 million times faster than average home broadband speed
Users could download every movie listed on IMDb in under a minute
Researchers at Aston University in Birmingham have shattered records with a groundbreaking achievement in internet speed, marking a monumental leap forward in digital connectivity. Their accomplishment, clocking in at a staggering 301 terabits per second, represents a mind-boggling 4.5 million times faster than the average home broadband speed.
This remarkable feat was made possible by tapping into previously untapped wavelength bands within fiber optic systems. By harnessing the potential of these unused bands, the researchers have unlocked unprecedented speeds that could revolutionize how we experience and interact with the internet.
Imagine the possibilities: with this lightning-fast speed, users could download every movie listed on the Internet Movie Database (IMDb) in under a minute. The potential for streaming high-quality 4K videos and engaging in bandwidth-intensive activities is virtually limitless.
Dr. Ian Phillips, one of the leading researchers behind this breakthrough, explained that the data was transmitted through optical fibers, similar to conventional home or office internet connections. However, instead of relying solely on the commercially available C-bands and L-bands, the team utilized additional spectral bands—the E-band and S-band—to achieve unprecedented speeds.
This achievement not only represents a significant milestone in technological advancement but also addresses the growing demand for faster internet speeds worldwide.
