• 40Gbps home broadband?

    Sigbritt, 75, has world's fastest broadband

    A 75 year old woman from Karlstad in central Sweden has been thrust into the IT history books - with the world's fastest internet connection.

    Sigbritt Lothberg's home has been supplied with a blistering 40 Gigabits per second connection, many thousands of times faster than the average residential link and the first time ever that a home user has experienced such a high speed.

    But Sigbritt, who had never had a computer until now, is no ordinary 75 year old. She is the mother of Swedish internet legend Peter Löthberg who, along with Karlstad Stadsnät, the local council's network arm, has arranged the connection.

    "This is more than just a demonstration," said network boss Hafsteinn Jonsson.

    "As a network owner we're trying to persuade internet operators to invest in faster connections. And Peter Löthberg wanted to show how you can build a low price, high capacity line over long distances," he told The Local.

    Sigbritt will now be able to enjoy 1,500 high definition HDTV channels simultaneously. Or, if there is nothing worth watching there, she will be able to download a full high definition DVD in just two seconds.

    The secret behind Sigbritt's ultra-fast connection is a new modulation technique which allows data to be transferred directly between two routers up to 2,000 kilometres apart, with no intermediary transponders.

    According to Karlstad Stadsnat the distance is, in theory, unlimited - there is no data loss as long as the fibre is in place.

    "I want to show that there are other methods than the old fashioned ways such as copper wires and radio, which lack the possibilities that fibre has," said Peter Lothberg, who now works at Cisco.

    Cisco contributed to the project but the point, said Hafsteinn Jonsson, is that fibre technology makes such high speed connections technically and commercially viable.

    "The most difficult part of the whole project was installing Windows on Sigbritt's PC," said Jonsson.

    Sigbritt Lothberg's home has been supplied with a blistering 40 Gigabits per second connection, many thousands of times faster than the average residenti link and the first time ever that a home user has experienced such a high speed.

    So, I have couple questions about this.

    First, what residential user can afford the kind of equipment that can draw or feed a 40Gbps pipe?? What PC can possibly handle data at that speed, even just writing it to ram, let alone disk.

    ^^^ as noted above, probably not. Unless the PC can toss the data into the bit bucket as fast as it comes it...


    The secret behind Sigbritt's ultra-fast connection is a new modulation technique which allows data to be transferred directly between two routers u to 2,000 kilometres apart, with no intermediary transponders.

    According to Karlstad Stadsnat the distance is, in theory, unlimited - there no data loss as long as the fibre is in place.

    Second, current range with fiber between amplifiers to boost the signal is about 50 miles. But this article claims what would seem to defy physics,
    which is that by a certain modulation technique, attenuation of the signal in the physical fiber can be overcome to provide either 1200 miles of range, or "in theory" unlimited range.

    If it were even of much value, is it even possible?

    Can I get two of them and use EQL / Bonding?

    Get four and use a Cisco CRS-1 like Sigbritt.

    feed a 40Gbps pipe?? What PC can possibly handle data at that speed, even j writing it to ram, let alone disk.


    This is easier than it sounds. You just need 40 PCs each with a gigabit ethernet card, and when they're finished downloading, you take out the 40 hard drives out of the 40 machines and put them in a giant RAID array to read them.

    AH! that makes it sound so simple!

    Now, why would he be downloading? With 40 gig of bandwidth you would just stream your HD movie and watch it. You wanna watch it again tomorrow?
    Stream it again. In fact, I'm starting to think 'Diskless Workstation".

    yeah, that sounds like a great replacement for cable/sattelite television,
    and voip would be great with it..

    the problem is verizon is a bastard isp from hell,and nelgin pointed out to
    us on irc that you HAVE to have them as a phone service and they pretty much disconnect your landline and replace it[reinstalling is costly].
