Very cool and they should keep doing this, but no one’s CPE is going to be able to do anywhere near this speed unless they plan on giving everyone large enterprises routers for home use.

Well, at least they're doing it quietly.

'quietly'

But it's not like the Chinese government to provide that kind of service out of kindness.

They’re just building out an infrastructure to modern standards rather than half-ass it and have to come back later. You could argue that this is a long term investment where they are saving money by starting with the latest hardware

Wish we could do that. But now that I think about it, it's much better to improve things in small steps that can be monetized with ever increasing prices for each step. Yeah, that's definitely the better way to do it.

Is China leading the world in green energy research and production an evil plot too?

I get it dictators are shit and we should kill them, but having a society where people's needs are met makes society easier to control. It's literally good for the CCP to make people's lives better so they don't get hung.

What would anyone need 50Gb for?

Like seriously, what would that get you what you can't do now?

My local Network adapter isn't half that fast
