Fast Internet Connection

75-year-old Sibritt Löthberg from Karlstad Sweden just got her first computer, but it didn't take her long to download all the necessary patches.

Swedish news site The Local reports that Löthberg's home has been tricked-out with a record-breaking 40 Gb/s connection - the first time a private residence has tapped into the internet at such high speeds.

The blazing-fast connection comes courtesy her son, Peter Löthberg, a Swedish optical internet guru working at Cisco.

Ma Löthberg's house was converted into a broadband dog-and-pony act in an effort to promote high-speed fibre connections as a commercially viable platform.

"I want to show that there are other methods than the old fashioned ways such as copper wires and radio, which lack the possibilities that fibre has," said Peter Löthberg.

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.

With her blistering connection, Sigbritt Löthberg will be able to download a full high-definition DVD in just two seconds. Now if only there was a place for a Swede to utilize such a speed advantage...


makes my 20mbit look bollocks :blink:

can anyone else get even near to this i wonder?

This happened years ago actually.

yeah, but i still thought it was interesting, and maybe was a bit more pertinant now as home speeds are getting faster now.

Understanding the various types of high speed Internet access that currently exist, you can compare them to each other. For the most part, the choice is still between your telephone company, in the form of DSL or fiber optics, or your cable company, in the form of fiber-enhanced broadband cable Internet.

Wish I had that connection!

that's quick, but there are packages that are 50G.

not sure it's the place to ask but how much sweds pay for their internets?

Not much :P

If you live in or close a fairly big city, you can get 100/100 Mbit connections för 5-50 euros, all depending on where you live, I know one place not to far from me where you can get it for 3,5 euro´s :P

but the most common prices are 30-50 euro´s. For fibre connection!.
But sadly for those who cant get fibre to their homes, it almiost the same price for ADSL, 24 Mbit..
