Researchers in Japan say they have set a new world record for the fastest internet speed, transmitting over 125,000 gigabytes of data per second over 1,120 miles (1,802 kilometers).

That's about 4 million times the average internet speed in the U.S. and would allow you to download the entire Internet Archive in less than four minutes, according to some rough estimates. This is also more than twice the previous world record of 50,250 Gbps, previously set by a different team of scientists in 2024.

To achieve this new speed — which has not been independently verified — the team developed a new form of optical fiber to send information at groundbreaking speeds over roughly the distance between New York and Florida.

I'm just picturing a bunch of animated 5400 RPM drives looking at all the data coming in and being like fuckkkkk. I quit.

Llike how do you record all that data on the other end to verify what was lost after. Run it for a second and spend a week verifying? (Exaggerating obviously, but damn that's fast)
