terabits per second.
At those speeds, the entire Library of Congress collections could be sent down an optical fibre in 10 seconds and the equivalent of 700 DVDs in one second.
Earlier this year, Japanese scientists set a world record sending 109 terabits per second using multiple lasers. But the data rate of 26 terabits per second reported by the group of German, Swiss and UK scientists in today's Nature Photonics is the largest line rate ever recorded using a single light source.

the future right here hopefully lol
imagine all the porn i can download
Wow. That is fantastic... Imagine how smooth this could make the internet if fully harnessed. Keep sharing amazing shit like this and you'll have a terribly successful blog.
this would be great for my home network! omg actually! omg!
imagine internet at this speed ... i can only dream on my 1.7mbps !
Haha, I can't wait to be able to download that fast. My hard drive would explode.
Wow, that's a lot of data
Holy shit, I'm only at 3-4k :O
We use phone lines they use optical fibers or generaly light. In phone you have 1 bit of information (there is eletricity or there is not) with light you have whole spectrum of wave lenght.
So don't compare it with our net speed :P
That's so impressive..
Wow. I didn't think that could be possible. Imagine the possibilities this puts on the table for the near future of communications.
I truely wish that my computer ran that fast...I would murder someoen for that hahaha
dang that is gigantic, I wonder what they downloaded
Well, I heard about 1 GBPS network somewhere in asia, China i think
I hope the public has access to tech like this in my lifetime, would be pretty awesome to have downloads that fast.
truly amazing, this technology is insane!
When will that be coming to my house? Cable guy was just here and scoffed at my 50mbps connection, and informed me of a 200mbps connection that would be soon available. I want my 1gbps connection, please!
Wow, everything is advancing too fast, slow down! :D
ok transfer rate, cool, cute, nice. Now lets wait a couple decades for hard drives to evolve enough to actually handle it. And mainboards. And processors. And pretty much everything :D
So, when will Verizon be upgrading their Fios network to use this?
Awesome haha
Can't wait till I'm hitting those sorts of speeds on youtube.
Oh wow.. What I would do for a connection like that at home....
read this on DIGG. and yes i second the previous comment. i want this at home too....i wonder how long it'll take
Wow. Imagine how big files will get when this becomes common place.
Impressive! I imagine it would cost a fortune wouldn't it?
This is awesome, we'll never stop beating the physics
Damn!
Holy sh* thats so fast
