I was wondering why that 3gb file didn't seem to take as long as it used to at my old apartment.

Apparently, your connection beats mine by 252,559.8 kbps. Congratulations.

Never before has my cable Internet seemed so much like one of those 5200 bps modems.

Now this is fast............

STOCKHOLM, Sweden - She is a latecomer to the information superhighway, but 75-year-old Sigbritt Lothberg is now cruising the Internet with a dizzying speed. Lothberg's 40 gigabits-per-second fiber-optic connection in Karlstad is believed to be the fastest residential uplink in the world, Karlstad city officials said.

In less than 2 seconds, Lothberg can download a full-length movie on her home computer — many thousand times faster than most residential connections, said Hafsteinn Jonsson, head of the Karlstad city network unit.

Jonsson and Lothberg's son, Peter, worked together to install the connection.

The speed is reached using a new modulation technique that allows the sending of data between two routers placed up to 1,240 miles apart, without any transponders in between, Jonsson said.

"We wanted to show that that there are no limitations to Internet speed," he said.

Peter Lothberg, who is a networking expert, said he wanted to demonstrate the new technology while providing a computer link for his mother.

"She's a brand-new Internet user," Lothberg said by phone from California, where he lives. "She didn't even have a computer before."

His mother isn't exactly making the most of her high-speed connection. She only uses it to read Web-based newspapers.

My Internet is pretty speedy, and pretty spendy. $51.00 a month for "always-on" connection.

blahblah454

I ended up with around 700 and something, cant remember the exact number. I wouldn't mind one of those fiber optic connections though!

Psycho Dad

I'm gonna call bullshit. I wouldn't think one could copy from hard drive to hard drive that fast on a local machine.

Isn't 40 gigabits-per-second faster than hard drives are capable of? I think if anything is bullshit, it's the write speed. Does the file actually save fast enough to keep up with the download speed. Aren't hard drive transfer speeds measured in MBs still? Streaming is another issue.
