World’s Fastest Home Internet Connection: 40Gb/s

Next time you brag about your fast internet connection to a peep on dial-up, think about the 75-year-old woman in Karlstad, Sweden, who has an incredibly fast 40Gb/s setup. That’s almost 7,000 times faster than a standard broadband connection, which could chug a full-length high-def DVD in just two seconds. I’m envious.

According to The Local, the secret sauce behind the connection is a new modulation technique that allows data to be transfered directly between two routers up to 2,000 km apart – with no intermediary transponders. This allows information to travel over huge distances without data loss.
