Broadband speed!

[Chris F]

So a new world record has been set:

World record internet speed achieved that is 1 million times faster than current broadband

A rate of 44 terabits per second is fast enough to download 1,000 HD films in a single second

Yet we struggle in rural UK to get 2megabits for a working internet. That speed above is 22 million times faster than 2megabits.

Years ago they promised to fix this

Pfft.
Tbh I am happy enough pootling along as I am.

Can’t really see the need for ever faster speeds. So long as what I want to watch doesn’t buffer, all’s good

Been on satellite WiFi here for years as are most around here due to poor/no fibre. These winds are making 1 bar 3G faster than the WiFi though

We get hi speed satellite for free as we have a repeater station on the farm. Can’t fault it.

I'd just be happy if Vodafone could supply me with Internet that doesn't crash several times an hour at the moment

I believe it has more to do with the Financial Markets (Stocks and Shares), as 0.000000001 etc means millions / billions to them when trading opens.

I am quite happy with my 4G DIY Jobbie, as Fiber is in NEver Never Land here - false promises:

Pretty sure mine runs in negative figures regularly.

It’s a small local company here. No catches, I agreed to it for the good of the community and because our BT speed was below 1. Free 30 mb broadband is fantastic.
