100x Faster Internet? It's Coming!

With the constant advancing in other areas such as faster processors larger and faster hard drives, high res cameras and video recording where 4k is becoming the norm. These things are sucking up resources on the network like crazy and here in the USA it's pretty hard to find something around 100MPBps without paying some super high fee. In fact I'm only running on 25MBps with about a 2MBps upload it's killer (in a bad way) lol.

Starlink (aka skynet) on the other hand pushes around 85Mbps but many people have reported more around 50Mbps. The benefit however is no running wires or other expensive things in order to lay the lines and groundwork for it all.

Japan and PiB Petabit

Japan has just tested a new way to transmit data that is pushing speeds upwards of 1 petabit per second in what is called a multi-core fiber. This BLOWS current data transfer rates out of the water. Just last year at this time Japan also did a test and successful achieved 319 Terabits per second.

Will You See These Speeds?

Most likely you will not any time soon. The common issue here is what is known as the last mile. The line that runs to your house can only take on so much data and would have to be replaced. The line it then attaches to also replaced and so on. Also in the USA unlike other smaller countries has vast areas which are under developed or no one lives. There's also vast distances this information has to travel again slowing down speeds.

Around here at least most of it is build on cable lines and not fiber optic. However these new systems area able to tap into fiber optic lines and use them allowing for a drastic increase in speeds while keeping the same infrastructure which is MASSIVE to getting this new platform out. That might make it possible for some people to get these faster speeds quickly and lessen the roll out. The amount of data that can be transferred however is simply massive and starts to open up new possibilities including that elusive metaverse!
