What is the fastest internet speed in the world?

I have recently read an article which mentioned that Uni of Buffalo has got 1 gigabit per second speed internet. Could this be true?. Please answer which is the fastest internet connection in the world?What is the fastest internet speed in the world?
A lot faster: 40 GB/s. An old swedish lady has it in her home.

(They will also upgrade it to 80GB/sec if I remember correctly.)

Although she only uses it for drying clothes and reading newspapers online. :)What is the fastest internet speed in the world?
You can check the results from google as top ten lists and you can check the speed test as free from http://www.ip-details.com/

What is the fastest internet speed in the world?
Actually, the other posters aren't even close. Here's the breakdown:



First, Home Users:

Your Typical Dialup: 56 Kbps

Typical DSL/Cable: 640 Kbps

DS1/T1: 1,581 Kbps (1.544 Mbps)



Next, Corporate Users:

E-1: 2.048 Mbps

DS1C/T-1C: 3.152 Mbps

DS2/T-2: 6.312 Mbps

E-2: 8.448 Mbps

E-3: 34.368 Mbps

DS3/T3: 44.736 Mbps

OC-1 : 51.84 Mbps



Then, Minor TelCo (these are smaller phone companies, hosts, broadband providers, etc. This is where it starts getting ridiculous):

DS3D/T-3D: 135 Mbps

E-4: 139.264 Mbps

OC-3: 155.52 Mbps

DS4: 274.176 Mbps

E-5: 565.148 Mbps

OC-12: 622.08 Mbps



Next Major TelCo (larger phone companies, government agencies like NASA, small countries; this is where it IS ridiculous):

OC-24 1.244 Gbps (Yes, GIGAbits per second)

OC-48 2.488 Gbps

OC-192 10 Gbps

OC-256 13.271 Gbps

OC-768 39.813 Gbps



Finally, God-Class (The Internet's backbones, large countries, major, major TelCos, like AT%26amp;T; this is just staggering). Though in fairness, these are really sophisticated methods of clustering the earlier ones:

OC-3072: 1.28 Tbps



DWDM: 10 Tbps

Dense Wave Division Multiplexing- Uses 160 simultaneous beams of light in different colors to send many packets through the same lines



Cisco CRS-1--%26gt; 92 Tbps!!!

This is the Big Boy, and it CAPS OUT at 92Tb, not starts there. India (the COUNTRY) bought ONE. The router itself (around $400,000 last I checked) was codenamed HFR (Huge F-ing Router) by Cisco during development.



To put this all in perspective:

Gigabits:.... 1.0000

Megabits:... 1024.0000

Kilobits:..... 1048576.0000

Bits:.......... 1073741824.0000



Therefore, if you have a ONE Gbps connection, you can download an entire DVD at 100% quality in 36 seconds (or 32 mp3 songs per second).
grease lightning!



you can get it from AT%26amp;T. its on their site. just google it!
