China is quietly pushing ahead with massive 50,000Mbps broadband rollout to leapfrog rest of the world on internet speeds

It’s up to the ISPs what plans they sell. But cost wise it would be so prohibitive that only a business would buy it for the first few years for sure.

[ilovethebomb@lemm.ee]

Not only that, but what's the use case? Who on earth is slinging that much data around?

[phoenixz@lemmy.ca]

What would anyone need 50Gb for?

Like seriously, what would that get you what you can't do now?

My local Network adapter isn't half that fast

Come on mate, internet in Australia is pretty shit after the NBN fiasco. Let me know when any of those those 100gbps lines reach 1gbps xD.

That's cool, but all the important stuff doesn't take much.

[rottingleaf@lemmy.world]

So they received money for something they didn't do. They should pay those back.

[rottingleaf@lemmy.world]

They are ostensibly a one party state, not a dictatorship.

This sentence feels so Soviet.

[burgersc12@mander.xyz]

Yeah, hate that the world views him as not a dictator, at least formally, but I don't make the rules.

[rottingleaf@lemmy.world]

Not just this one. But I think you are overestimating such improvements over strategic ones that the US is still doing more. Say, Starlink really turning into some sort of planetary cell network.

High speed internet behind the Great Firewall sounds wonderful. It would be like rapid public transit behind the iron curtain. You can go quickly and conveniently to any dim, depressing place we let you go.

[subignition@fedia.io]

The article you linked describes plans reaching up to 1000Mbps (1Gbps).

That's only 2% of the speed of the theoretical 50Gbps maximum OP's article discusses (and 10% of the 10Gbps real-world speeds currently available in China according to the same article). I think you have your units mixed up.

[ilovethebomb@lemm.ee]

Who would have a server like that actually in their house?

Linus Tech Tips, a company that films multiple hours of 4k or higher content every day, which is uploaded to an offsite backup, as well as uploading edited videos to multiple platforms, made a big deal about having a 10 gigabit Internet connection.

Written in Switzerland from my 25GBps symmetric connection (for like 60$/month) that I have for a couple of years ‍️

Also for personal use the difference between 1Gbps and 25 (or, I guess, 100GBps) is essentially zero… your everyday connection is via WiFi (good luck to get more than 1GBps there) or on a home server/NAS/workstation where likely you run batch jobs where the difference between 1 minute or 5 minutes is not a huge deal (and yes I am not saying 1 vs 25 because at that speed generally the bottleneck is the place where you are getting data from)

KC starts the beta for 50gig next month.

Do you really believe everything in the USSR was dim and depressing? Do you also think everything is Mexico is tinted yellow?

[deceptichum@quokk.au]

Let me know when any of those those 100gbps lines reach 1gbps xD.

It was in direct relation to 1gbps.

I think you may be confused?
