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

LTT are also a bunch of loonie toon characters cosplaying as techies who lost all their data multiple times to malpractice. I'd hardly uplift them as a banner case.

There is nothing preventing housing being built with it, so its still viable.

[0x0@infosec.pub]

Right, so your first mentioned 100gbps will reach what then, 2gbps?

Not sure if youre trolling or just really daft at this point.

[deceptichum@quokk.au]

I’m not sure if you’re trolling or just IT illiterate, but do you hit 100% of your plans speed 24/7?

Because most people do not, that’s not how it works.

This is for PON technology. 1 fibre can be split 32-ways to feed, you guessed it, 32 customers. 50g over a fibre that is split 32-ways with a minimum of 15db loss is impressive.

I guarantee those 100gbps circuits are a single fibre all the way from the provider to the customer. And they are expensive, very expensive.

[ilovethebomb@lemm.ee]

Possibly not, but if their whole company can run off 10 gigabit, who needs 50 in their house?

[kata1yst@sh.itjust.works]

I didn't read that this was for residential connections?

[squizzy@lemmy.world]

Its not that out of this world, though it is currently completely unneccessary. 10gb+ has been somewhat common residentially for years.

[kalleboo@lemmy.world]

Most residential fiber currently is GPON with a 2 Gbps shared line using passive optical splitters, split up to 32 ways. Raising that shared line to 50 Gbps is a great upgrade.

[kalleboo@lemmy.world]

They're probably not building out 50 Gbps to the rice farmers

[cybersin@lemm.ee]

Enterprise adopted 100GbE networking around 2019. You can now buy used network cards for around $100 each.

[cyberpunk007@lemmy.ca]

Probably not where I am, that seems really low. I mean it depends if you use name brand or not. Often I don't use the name brand ones

[misterd@lemmy.ca]

But someone at AT&T would have to sell their yatch

[boonhet@lemm.ee]

Meanwhile, Telia in Estonia: "The Estonian customer doesn't prioritize connection speed or price, that's why we don't need to offer competitive speed/price ratios compared to what we have in other European countries"

[glitterbomb@lemmy.world]

That yacht is fine because someone else at AT&T rotated into a position at the FCC
