The fastest internet speed in the world has been clocked at an incredible 178 terabits per second (Tb/s) fast enough to download the entire Netflix library in under a second. Engineers in the UK and Japan have developed new ways to modulate light before its beamed down optical fibers, allowing for much wider bandwidths than usual

That's... Insanity. Hopefully they can eventually make the use of this widespread. This kind of instruction would easily support 10 gig connections for home users in dense populations.

That might actually be faster than just strapping whole server racks to a rocket slide. Definitely safer.

huh. i actually had the idea to do something like this years ago (though only on a very basic level), but I figured it would just bottleneck again when the light was converted back into electricity.

Just imagine the number of personal 100 Mb connections that could offer or personal 1 Gigabit connections that could offer.

This level of technology is a bit frightening. In the hands of the wrong government they could use it to elevate spying to a whole new level
Are you assuming half the bandwidth isn't already dedicated to recording all your activity on the internet.
