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

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?

[darkdarkhouse@lemmy.sdf.org]

That's the thing, it's hard to imagine what we'll use it for until it's available.

Hot NICs in your .local

Getting real tired of these „China is 30 years ahead of us“ clickbait headlines on an almost daily basis. They‘re always completely overblown and sadly really warp the public perception of the country and their government.

Then I guess it's my bad thinking you were trying to show 100 gigabit plans

None of those plans actually do reach 1gbps though, you kinda proved their point with your link

[deceptichum@quokk.au]

You are the confused one mate.

The user I gave that link showing our 1gbps plan commented as if we did not already have 1gbps, hence me showing them that we already have it.

The link was not in relation to 100gbps and was purely a response to the 1gbps comment.

Those plans do not reach 1gbps at 7pm when every family in the neighbourhood is online, that is to be expected.

Under ideal situations proximity and network congestion they are capable of hitting the full 1gbps.

I think few people missed the sarcasm

We're testing this same tech in the UK as well:

China might be a little ahead but it's hardly a leapfrog.

Seconding this, while I have the option for multi-gig at my address, I don't have the need, once you get around gigabit upload speeds life is fine.

I can upload hours of uncompressed gameplay to YouTube in under an hour, and that's limited mostly by their ingest speeds (≈300Mbps) and not my end, so that's plenty.

With all that said, the option for consumers is great, I'm thankful I have that choice, wish more people had it too.
