- farry, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1To avoid confusion, we usually use 'B' to refer to bytes and 'b' to bits.
The basis of this being that one byte is equal to eight bits and is thus larger, hence capitalized. - AlGore, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3President Al Gore gets plenty of fiber, so he doesn't need 1TB/s.

President Al Gore's Governement in exile has appointed Humanitarian Sean Penn to Speak of the House in Exile. - Torrin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Wow, I need one of those at home!
- fani, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0jeffreyan12, actually its the other way around
1 byte = 8 bits - jeffreyan12, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0still cool though wish that could be my internet connection lol
- squelch, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0a move in the right direction, now to bring everything else up to speed.
- fani, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0oops. I meant - ~ 6 times slower than claimed speed.
- geekologist, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Where do I sign up? How much will this cost? I would pay thousands a month for this. This is the *****!
- loeakaodas, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"i'm skeptical as to whether or not they are storing this data on hard disks also - a hard drive could never keep up with those speeds."
They probably used a huge RAID array to increase the transfer speed, or even easier something like the iRAM drive. They definitely didn't use a single hard drive. - Tonyisbad, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0if i had this I would be the internet!
- jeffreyan12, on 10/12/2007, -0/+01TB or 1tb 1bit = 8byte and a 9GB(byte)it would be about 81Gb
used to mix the two up all the time - nstabl, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0i like it.. not worrying about the claims or anything, just 1TB or even 1Tb a sec, is fine for me
- rompom7, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0@fani, did you count harddrive speeds?
- gridpoet, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0yeah...SATA = 1.5GBs transfer rate...so once your ram fills up you'll have hit a wall...but crap...i'll take 1.5GBs transfer speeds!!!
Of course dont look to see anything like this in the US anytime soon thanks to asshat legislators and CEO's with broadband monopoly's...they are eating piles of cake right now, no reason for them to spen money and upgrade when they can keep fleecing us...here's to hoping that more municipal broadbands dont get legislated illegal and flourish! - nyquist, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Smells fishy. How did they get it off disk so quickly?
I don't think any of http://lsr.internet2.edu/ involve disk at all, and is all random data that is checksummed and discarded. - Tr176, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0That's too fast for anything I can think of, those crazy Japanese!
- soulcages01, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0i'm skeptical as to whether or not they are storing this data on hard disks also - a hard drive could never keep up with those speeds.
- SuidAfrikaner, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0MUST HAVE!!
dugged - jeffreyan12, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0i wonder if the RIaa can trace something in .5 sec lol
- racerxyz, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Even if you have a TB fibre to your PC, chances are, unless you have some REALY REALY REALY fast SCSI RAID, you''ll see only 10's of MB transfer rates with your SATA or IDE disks. Also, your PC backplain will be an issue too. The fastest in the WORLD are on IBM servers and they only have an xfer rate of 7 GB.
- geekologist, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0The company, Japan's second-largest power supplier, has not decided when to put the technology into practical use but says it is possible that it would come IN 2010 OR LATER.
- balazs, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0^ Damn, Iwould pay anything for that
- theone3, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0THIS SPEED WOULD NOT BE FOR CONSUMERS. The 'modem' costs would be outrageous, as any reciever that can detect minute changes in light at that speed is lab stuff, and will only be used in major infrastructure. Anyway, they're right to cap people at 100mb/s or so, because without that, you'd have to place downloads in a worldwide queue.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Yup, that's fast. I use a 7mbps cable connection at home and a OC-12 at work, both are really fast.
Just remember, not everyone needs a supercar to get groceries.
+ digg - meangene, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Man, that's faster than the speed of spank!
- nicodemas, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Sweet! To hell with hard drive speeds, I think it's awesome. This sort of speed is out there. What ever happened to Fast TCP?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0will be useful when we'll trash Hard Disks and enjoy solid data storage. jeez
- wilsonics, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"ummmmmm.....wouldn't that only help if other bittorrent seeders had it too?" I'd be the super seeder! Muuwaaaa ahaahahahahhahahah! Plus, the way it goes is that if you have faster upload, you get to download faster, so it could hit a bottleneck, but if i got some sort of ramdrive or something...damn, there would be some happy people out there getting seeded from me! ;)
- adml_shake, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Man, I would just be happy if the servers I download from would use this to upload their crap to me! Even on my DSL line, can you imagine how much faster it would go if they had it on just their end?!
- rydawg, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0 "Please, can I have some of that for my BitTorrent?"
ummmmmm.....wouldn't that only help if other bittorrent seeders had it too? - Brak710101, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0You have to remember that most web servers are on 100Mbit lines, so even if you where to get this, the internet would be slower then you, defeatingt he purpose of this speed.
- NismoDrift, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0next, digg.com has jus crashed because its bandwidth has been used up by a japanese craze of 1 terabyte/sec internet connections on the site!
what if that happens? - matx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I could download the internet!
- rocjoe71, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1All these numbers are befuddling me... how much porn is that?
- dacompmandan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Update our Country's network with that, and throw out (give) old stuff to those 3rd world countries, where the entire country gets only 1 T1 line for everyone..
- theman8631, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"wow.... just wow.... the future is lookin' pretty damn friendly" yea for fukn japan, U.S. has expensive slow bandwidth nazis.
I would chop my penis off for that kind of speed - wilsonics, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Sorry for the funky spelling, i meant Tb, sorry....i was a little excited.
- verse101, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Not practical for home users right now because of hardware bottlenecks. But this is about progress and advancement. This pipeline wont be going to all one person, that'd be ridiculous.
- rookieone, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0whoa....that lets you download stuff so fast that they cant even catch you downloading it...ure like...speedy gonzales. "ariva riva riva!!!!"
- mikedsmith, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0For all of you people complaining about disk speeds and how it wouldn't support such a high speed link:
At the present time, links of this speed are not used for reading/writing to disk arrays; rather they are used to carry aggregate connections... in other words, you connect X 100Mb/s connections to it, and separate them all out again at the other end. It means links that will allow us to pipe more data, from more people, at higher speeds, to and from each other. Good stuff.
And some day we will need links like this for our internet connection anyway. :) - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0wow.... just wow.... the future is lookin' pretty damn friendly
Dugg - jeffreyan12, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0i thought they just got a fiber cable to do 1TB/ps it will not be an internet connection for a while and probely go to major corperations, gov., second, first would be bill gates or something (wonder how many oc 12 lines he has) lol
- nstabl, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0amazing
-mat
http://www.spywarekills.com - eyckzo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0WOW!
That's fast; I want something like that in my house. - agent_smith, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Alcatel has marketed the "terralite" fiber for quite some time...not too sure if they are truely a TB/s capable fiber, but nonetheless from my experience the limitation seems to be more in the equippment that just doesn't exist yet to support TB flows. DWDM and CWDM applications are the best application for this as mikedsmith pointed out, this is mainily a carrier-class application. The link provided did not mention a manufacturer name nor a fiber type/specification. That is a bit fishy. I'm sure that Corning has something similar regardless in a factory somewhere.
- macacid, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0that more pr0n than u can ever watch! HAHA
- wilsonics, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Well, the company also neglects to quote file sizes, it could have been a much smaller movie file, say a divx or xvid....but still cool.
- fani, on 10/12/2007, -1/+01 Terabit per second = 1000 gigabits/sec = 125 Gigabytes/sec ( 125GB/s )
DVD movie max = (rounding) = 10 GB Transmitted in 1/2 sec
so its 20GB/sec
This is about 1/6 slower than the claimed speed.
Eh ? - your_mom, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0DAMNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0PORN! PORN! PORN! PORN! PORN! PORN! PORN! PORN! PORN! PORN! PORN! PORN! PORN! PORN! PORN! PORN! PORN! PORN! PORN! PORN! PORN! PORN! PORN! PORN! PORN! PORN! PORN! PORN!
