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

[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.

[deceptichum@quokk.au]

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.

The “innovation” in the article is passive tech for fiber to the room (FTTR), specifically made to be low cost and easier to implement. It’s also how your computer might get that 50Gbit - it’ll have to be wired in with a fiber connection. It’s not happening over WiFi (or even Ethernet)

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.

[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.

[nfamwap@lemmy.world]

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?
