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

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
-
But someone at AT&T would have to sell their yatch
-
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"
-
That yacht is fine because someone else at AT&T rotated into a position at the FCC
-
American companies being welfare queens, imagine that.

"Chona"
Hahah.

I have symmetrical 10 Gbps at home ($30/mo) and I'll agree. When it's nice when you have big updates, for most households 1 Gbps is going to be just fine. As you say, the vast majority of users are bottlenecked by Wi-Fi.
The bigger crime are all the asymmetrical connections that people on technologies like Cable TV networks have, where you get 1-2 Gbps down but only something tiny like 50 Mbps up. This results in crappy video calls, makes off-site/remote backups unfeasible, etc etc.
