Japan has greatly increased internet speed

[the watcher]

Looks like we are lagging. This could be a huge deal for Mericans, we could call each other names at blinding speed from home with this. Japanese researchers shatter internet speed record with fiber optic breakthrough 4 million times faster than U.S. broadband

And....What does that mean for me, I'm not some gamer.

Great, more people glued to a computer screen.

Before long:

The Japanese love their technology. Innovation is the future.

Researchers ? Sounds like it isn't available to the general public. I live in the sticks and have a fiber gigabit connection. I'm not complaining.

4 million times faster than 200 Mbps? I call bullshit.

 

[MarcATL]

Great for Japan.

Not so much for us.

sigh

800 Terabits per second.

Or 1 TBps.

I might be able to see it, if they somehow are able to encode each of the 27 different fibers to operate in parallel almost as if they were multiplexed.

A bonus for fans of ultra-violent porn comics all over the world.

Problem is that optic fibre transmission has not completely covered the U.S.
When you take into consideration that Japan's four main Islands make up only 55% the size of Texas.

I don’t know how it is now, but American internet speeds lagged seriously behind countries like Finland, Norway,Sweden,Denmark, Japan, Singapore and South Korea.

They hired the best. They don't care for this DEI and diversity is the greatest gift nonsense.

Didn't we just pass a big infrastructure initiative that was supposed to improve service?
