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

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.

data drive arrays are so fucking slow
I swear to god! half of my job at work is waiting for the platter drives to give the data to the solid state arrays on the other side of a fiber connection
-
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.
-
Right, so your first mentioned 100gbps will reach what then, 2gbps?
Not sure if youre trolling or just really daft at this point.

-
Possibly not, but if their whole company can run off 10 gigabit, who needs 50 in their house?
-
I didn't read that this was for residential connections?
-
Its not that out of this world, though it is currently completely unneccessary. 10gb+ has been somewhat common residentially for years.
-
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.
-
They're probably not building out 50 Gbps to the rice farmers
-
Enterprise adopted 100GbE networking around 2019. You can now buy used network cards for around $100 each.
-
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
