WOW 40Gbps broadband
« on: 18 July 2007, 14:31:56 »
Now that is fast. How long will it take for consumers to get this sort of speed?

Nope, we have been demoing faster speeds than that over thousands of K'ms of fibre to some customers.....

40Gb isnt the norm, that requires a 10K+ Line card plus one hell of a lot of bandwidth through the network......40Mb is not so unusual in some places....

Yes, remember that even if you were ever to get the infrastructure to the premises (only really possibly now with new developments, using fibre), you would never get those sort of throughputs.

Someone has to carry that amount of bandwidth from your exchange to your ISP, and your ISP has to have that level of connectivity.

Consider your average ISP, say 200,000 users. Most have 2 - 4 1Gbps links to the internet.  Even the Internet backbones could be saturated by a couple of users with that sort of connectivity.
