JAPAN BREAKS INTERNET SPEED RECORD

[bluescope]

Japanese scientists have set a world record of 319Tbps (terabits per second) for transferring data, beating the 178Tbps achieved last August by a team at University College London. Japan’s National Research and Development Agency sent data through a fibre cable just over 3,000km, compared with 40km in London last year.

The speed of 319Tbps is equivalent to nearly 40,000Gbps.
