Data Delivery Rates 4.5 Million Times Faster Than Average Broadband Achieved in Major Fiber Optic Breakthrough
A new breakthrough in fiber optic technology has succeeded in sending data at an astonishing 4.5 million times faster than home broadband.

A team of international researchers led by Aston University in Birmingham, England, has achieved the fastest data delivery rate ever using standard optical fiber, transferring data at 301 terabits per second (30,000,000 megabits per second). They accomplished this by opening additional wavelength bands (E and S-bands) previously unused in optical fiber systems, increasing the transmission capacity without needing new fiber.
