- Researchers from RMIT, Monash and Swinburne universities have achieved the world’s fastest internet data speed – enough to download 1000 HD movies in a split second - using a single optical chip. They recorded a data speed of 44.2 Terabits per second (Tbps) from a single light source. https://www.rmit.edu.au/news/all-news/2020/may/fastest-internet-speed 4 comments science
- The world’s fastest data transmission rate has been achieved by a team of UCL engineers. The research team achieved a data transmission rate of 178 terabits a second (178,000,000 megabits a second) – a speed at which it would be possible to download the entire Netflix library in less than a second. https://www.ucl.ac.uk/news/2020/aug/ucl-engineers-set-new-world-record-internet-speed 59 comments science
