That's a new article, but that is about 1/250th of the speed of those attained 2 years ago here:
255 Tbps: World’s fastest network could carry all of the internet’s traffic on a single fiber
http://www.extremetech.com/extreme/...d-carry-all-the-internet-traffic-single-fiber
"A joint group of researchers from the Netherlands and the US have smashed the world speed record for a fiber network, pushing 255 terabits per second down a single strand of glass fiber. This is equivalent to around 32 terabytes per second — enough to transfer a 1GB movie in 31.25 microseconds (0.03 milliseconds), or alternatively, the entire contents of your 1TB hard drive in about 31 milliseconds.
To put 255 Tbps into perspective, the fastest single-fiber links in commercial operation top out at 100Gbps, or 2,550 times slower. 255 Tbps is mindbogglingly quick; it’s greater, by far, than the total capacity of every cable — hundreds of glass fibers — currently spanning the Atlantic Ocean.
In fact, 255 terabits per second is similar to — or maybe even more than — the total sum of all traffic flowing across the internet at peak time."
A year before...
Twisted laser vortexes carry 1.6 terabits per second over fiber optic network
http://www.extremetech.com/computin...-terabits-per-second-over-fiber-optic-network
"The team of researchers that produced infinite-capacity wireless vortex beams has deployed the same technology in optical fibers, using twisted laser beams to transfer data at 1.6 terabits per second over 1.1 kilometers (0.68 miles)."Last edited: Feb 11, 2016 -
Would love to have internet like that!

Now, you can blow your data cap/limit in just matter of seconds!

Too bad this technology will never be deployed in the US/Europe. Nobody wants to spend money digging up and repaving streets and highways when there's still a huge glut of dark fiber lying around from the dot-com boom.

BTW many newer installations have installed tubes so adding a new fiber/fibers is trivial and much less expensive than digging up streets etc.TomJGX likes this. -
