75 year old woman, has Worlds fastest home Broadband connection at 40Gbps


A 75 year old woman from Karlstad in central Sweden has been thrust into the IT history books - with the world’s fastest internet connection.

Sigbritt Löthberg’s home has been supplied with a blistering 40 Gigabits per second connection, many thousands of times faster than the average residential link and the first time ever that a home user has experienced such a high speed.

But Sigbritt, who had never had a computer until now, is no ordinary 75 year old. She is the mother of Swedish internet legend Peter Löthberg who, along with Karlstad Stadsnät, the local council’s network arm, has arranged the connection.

Sigbritt will now be able to enjoy 1,500 high definition HDTV channels simultaneously. Or, if there is nothing worth watching there, she will be able to download a full high definition DVD in just two seconds.
Holy COW

What the hell kind of networking gear does she have on her end?

I'd lol if she had that 40GBps link attached to 10/100MBps router. Or even just a gigabit router.

That'd exactly what i was thinking. Also, arent most SATA hard drives nowadays only rated at 3gbit/s transfer (or is it 300mbit?). Sure you could download a HD DVD movie in 2 seconds, but good luck actually getting it written onto your hard drive in that time :p

It'd be pretty cool to live in her town...54mbit connection for everybody :D
