Mountain View, California: Google
Inc is in the process of developing a new technology that is going to
revolutionise the way you use internet. The corporation is in the
process of exploring the possibility of an internet connection that is
1,000 times faster than the present speed.
If achieved, you would be able to connect to the internet at a mammoth speed of 10 gigabits per second.
“After one gig, it would be 10 gigs so we are already working on 10
gigs,” announced Patrick Pichette, Google chief financial officer who
discussed Google’s 10 gigabit experiment at a conference in San
Francisco.
Few months ago, scientists in the UK have created the fastest ever
real-world internet connection, using commercial-grade fibre optic lines
to clock up speeds of 1.4 terabits per second.
It’s believed to be the fastest speed test of its kind, and would
allow users to hypothetically download 44 high-definition films in a
single second. Downloading the entire English version of Wikipedia would
take just 0.006s.
A joint research team from French telecoms company Alcatel-Lucent
and BT created the connection using an existing 410km-stretch of fibre
optic cable between BT Tower in London and a BT research campus in
Suffolk.
