Lost Soul Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 hmm just thought id post this interesting article for everybody,, this is seriously fast internet,, man its unbelieveablewhat do you think..here's a small portion of it.A 75-year-old woman from Karlstad in central Sweden has been given a scorching 40 Gbps internet connection — the fastest residential connection anywhere in the world. Sigbritt Löthberg is the mother of Swedish internet guru Peter Löthberg, who is using his mother to prove that fiber networks can deliver a cost-effective, ultra-fast connection. Sigbritt, who has never owned a computer before, can now watch 1,500 HDTV channels simultaneously or download a whole high definition DVD in two seconds. Apparently 'the hardest part of the whole project was installing Windows on Sigbritt's PChttp://www.thelocal.se/7869/20070712/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jakebo Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 That actually makes my head hurt. Here I was thinking my speed was pretty good. Then again, how would I have time to read this board if my downloads didn't take so long. That downtime of waiting is important! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andromeda43 Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Ok, lets find the article with the worlds slowest internet so we can laugh at them!Worlds slowest? Well, maybe not, but my dial up connection (sometimes) gives me downloads in the xx bytes range.Yes I said "bytes"....not killobytes or magabytes. Some days, my "Wild Blue" satellite connection isn't a lot better. The only good thing about a dial up connection is that it stays connected right through thunder storms...the Satellite doesn't!!!Happy Computing!B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
