ShoutWire - 14 Terabytes Per Second: NTT Sets Download Record
The Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation has set a new data transfer record using fiber optics, topping out the old record by 4 Terabytes per second.
The speed was achieved over a 100-mile-long fiber optic cable, improving upon the previous 10 terabyte per second record by almost half. At 14 terabytes per second the transfer rate would be the equivalent of downloading approximately 3000 DVD-quality movies in a single second.
Most of the Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation’s (NTT) network is currently using fiber optic lines, but speeds across the network currently top out at 1 terabyte per second, with users achieving downloads of 1Gpbs. And while internet users across South Korea and Japan already enjoy the high speed transfer rates that fiber optics offer, networks across the US predominantly use co-axial cable. Speeds offered by co-axial connections are significantly lower, however, with the fastest consumer broadband nework, Verizon’s FiOS, topping out at 50Mpbs down and 5Mpbs up. But even with Verizon achieving such speeds, most networks, such as those of Comcast and AT&T, currently allow users only 5Mpbs down and 500Kpbs up.
Download 3000 DVD quality movies in a second? Damn, that is fast.
Unfortunately it doesn't mention how long this speed was maintained for. And I wonder what they transferred.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but what good is downloading that quickly when there's no way your hard drive can keep up?

I'm sure this is meant as (possible) trunk speed, not end user connection speed.

Okay, that makes sense. You could have 3000 people downloading 1 DVD per second.

You silly, they do different things.
Hampstors are for the power and speed, unicorns for the exotic looks.

Personally I find it hilarious that you have the hots for my gramma. Especially seeins how she is 3x your age, and makes your Brittney-Spears-wannabe 30-something wife look like a rag doll who went thru WWIII with a burning stick of dynamite up her a** :)

Shouldn't the transfer speed be faster?

Dakar is probably the best guy in the universe.
It's true, don't look at me, I don't make up these well known facts.
