- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+69Yes we know that's a lot of porn....
more info...
http://www.ntt.co.jp/news/news06e/0609/060929a.html - falcon707, on 10/12/2007, -2/+59Now Ted Stevens can finally download the whole internet without his tubes getting clogged...
- nullcharacter, on 10/12/2007, -3/+44** Attention Readers: Check out this link rather than the one the url above, digg member "persiting1" found a much better, longer, more informative article than the one I originally submitted with lots more detail, thanks Persititing1. Good work. Great digging! Have a great weekend all.***
- fearofcorners, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13Why must transfer rates always be quoted in bits and everything else in bytes? I always figured it was so that phone modems didn't sound so desperately slow. Couldn't we all just decide on one or the other? 1.75 terabytes per second still sounds really big.
- cody50, on 10/12/2007, -2/+12"We still think that someone needs to do some research on why Japan always gets the coolest stuff fastest — not to mention how they get the fastest stuff first."
redundant? - cm32438, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9eh, give him a little credit. It is only one WHOLE terabyte.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9JoshHendo, you're wrong, USA's internet speed still behind the rest of the world.
- sfacets, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Correction - The US'ses connection is still better than Australia's... thanks Telstra.
- bsummersett, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5You can transfer just a random assortment of bits, you know...
- Insert31990, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5That's one whole ***** TeraBYTE a second ...
Well.
I need me one. - ggko, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5...Verizon then immediately charged them a $17,500 penalty and cancelled their service.
An NTT official was quoted saying "for all the porn we got in one second, it was worth it." - u8myfoood, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6ummm its kinda pointless even if u have a 10k hdd, it cant store the info as quick as it receives it. but still... *drool*
- ViktorVaughn, on 10/12/2007, -4/+9Cover sheets on TPS reports.
Nice try though. - dgendreau, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5I believe in the datacom world its usually 10bits per byte. There is usually 1 parity and 1 stop bit.
Thats the reason they quote the number of bits. Its the same reason hard drive sizes are quoted in un-formatted bytes because the sector headers take up space. - JamesWilson, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Can someone please set up a newsgroup server for this connection and give me the login details?
- jblfireball, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Isn't that 1.75 TeraBytes
1 Byte = 8 bits - anonydigg, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Nobody is going to get to use that by themselves; Net backbone - Company WAN
- barbobot, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4why would downloading HD content mean you were a pirate?
- synaesthesia, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3With Japan and Korea's insane speeds and China's enormous internet userbase, it seems like the US needs to play a bit of catch-up, and fast.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Probably done with Cisco's CRS-1, 92 terabits per second. They do make an OC-768 line card that just very well could transfer that much if not more data per second than the 14 reported.
The key is having end stations that can handle that data rate. - dankosaur, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5what? make sense do?
- ohhhL3ThaL, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Y HALLOW THAR HUMAN I SEE AN ERROR
1 terabyte = 1,073,741,824 kilobytes
Big difference when working on a large scale like that isn't there. - ohhhL3ThaL, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5I've been to the internet and back.
- dgendreau, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2@aeiou. read the damn comment below.
in datacom there are 10 bits per byte.
1 start bit, 8 data bits and 1 stop bit.
its called framing. Without it, there is no way to tell if you are out of sync and reading from the middle of a byte. - SAOSiN, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3yea its kinda pointless if your hdd can't write at 14 terabits a second isnt it?
- Zippo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2It's 1 Tb, not TB... BIG difference. Still faster than a Thai whore, though.
- aeiou, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Thats a good question. My guess is that they used more than one computer, or perhaps a supercomputer, so that they could access possibly hundreds of hard drives at one time.
- aeiou, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4no, 8bits=1byte
- barnis, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1It's funny as a Japanese resident and former NTT fiber to the home customer, I can really attest to the fact the NTT internet sucks. I've been a long-time american broadband customer so I was super psyched when I heard that I could get 100 MB/s fiber here. It was a total disaster from the start though...my connection would constantly time out to popular sites like cnn.com or google.com and would only display after a refresh...i could no longer connect to games that required UDP. When I called NTT to complain they just acted confused and never really could find a tech who understood what UDP was or what the problem was for that matter. On top of all that the top speed that I could get was always about 300 KB/s nowhere near 500 MB/s. I attribute this to poor peering agreements with International backbone providers. Perhaps I can send a file at record speeds to the NTT head office but no to anywhere meaninful.
Wghen they came they just did as any american ISP would do and blamed the wireless router. When the techs came I showed them the same problems using a wired connection and still there was no real answer. the techs were all outsourced morons who themselves told us we should cancel our contract and switch back to cable internet. We finally did that and have been much happier. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1@ufia:
You really need to get a clue about networking. You think this big dood with a 14Gb/s connection to the net is going to use it to get all his pr0n? Heard about backbone networks or carrier trunks? Voice communications? The list is endless. - Codename, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1This is just insane. OMG lol.
- Atomic1fire, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2japanovation at it again
- walkerblackwell, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Look. The had a digg effect. Must have gotten over the 14tb level. LoL
- ViktorVaughn, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3RAID anyone?
- swanny89, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I think he was distracted because he lost his stapler
- kb9vgr, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1they probably transfered data from one super computer cluster to another
- msbeckman, on 10/12/2007, -6/+6umm yeah... no body cares..
- cfsporn, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2Damnit! Why can't I get that speed in the US?
- po43292, on 10/12/2007, -2/+21 TeraByte = 1000 GB = 1 million MB = 1 BILLION KB/s!!?!!? Right now i get 2 Mbits/sec =~ 300 KB/s...
Where do I sign up?? hehe - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Most comms is done with sync transfers these days so 8bits/byte applies here. 10 bits/byte only applies to asynchronous transfers.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+4Why was my previous comment mod-ed down. Legit question. Still unanswered what storage media can read 14 terabits of data in 1 second. Was the 14 terabits transfer across the wire only a *theory*, or did they really pull that off in practice? Then answer me where that much data was read from in 1 second? Or did they just shine a flashlight at one end of the fiber optic and pretend it was data? I call *****.
- mhockey14221, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Ill use that by myself.
- windzero, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0My harddisk cant even stand for one second with this download speed.
- JackHallows, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1How did they test this though? I don't know of anything that's like, 14TB in size... unless it was a bunch of little files?
- sfacets, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1Why can't my intenet connection be that fast?
- dgendreau, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2See my post below. 10 bits per byte.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -6/+4I don't understand... What the point of these hosting companies offering shared hosting plans with 1000gb of transfer a month if you can't even use it without your website being shut down? 1000/31=32gb a day..which is 1.3gb an hour.... That impossible to use if you host doesn't even let you use 5gb worth of text/images a day.... lmao bluehost sucks...
Anyways anyone have a mirror? - Crepsley, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0Dang thats a lot of space.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1This would make it very easy to download HD content in future, not that i encourage piracy.
- falcon707, on 10/12/2007, -5/+2@ButtholeSurfer
Now I know how you got that name... -
