Looking forward to a 1 terabit/second home Internet connection.
One can barely get 1Gbps connections in the UK, and in most parts even 10Mbps is a lot. TBps may have to wait a few eons.

Yeah, this confuses me. Gigabit is available in several places in North America. I had to check the date on the article.. posted 20 hours ago. Yep. Still confused.
In Sweden we have 10Gbe consumer Internet for $40/month
... and then put a wifi router in front of it, am I right?

#63And even it that speed, I bet pre-roll ads on videos still end up buffering.
Yes, we need better software (engineers).

#64I like like the bottle neck in the future will be Harddrive/SSD file read/write speeds. Honestly, I'd love to have my hands on a terabyte drive with 1TBps speeds.

No. It will be your ISP

You need also a fast processor and RAM to to take advantage of it.

I'm sending right now at home 7TB from my server to my NAS and it's taking aaages over my internal 1Gb/s ethernet network.
Am I right thinking that there are (still) no SOHO network switches that can handle faster speeds (at least 2Gb/s) that don't have active fans & don't get hot and that aren't super-expensive? The last time I checked, about 1 year ago, I didn't manage to find anything.

#67Given the cost of laying fiber lines across the ocean and this tech (appears) to double the capacity of an existing line, why would there not be a push to get this into use, what am I missing?
This is a field that's constantly being worked on, not sure why you say there isn't a "push" in it. This specific thing is not faster than previous results, but more compact. Long-distance fiber lines also have amplifiers along the way, so you can't just scale them up by changing the endpoints if it doesn't match the capability of the in-line hardware.
When do you have to replace an EDFA?

I'm paying $50/mo for 1Gb in the US. I thought I was doing well

#69> The highest commercial internet speed anywhere in the world is currently in Singapore, where the average download speed is 197.3 megabits per second (mbps).
I’m very surprised by this. I would have assumed the leading country would have had something a lot closer to gigabit. ‘Good enough’ must be the user reaction. Years of terrible connections have left me chasing down every last bit, even though fibre is now installed.

I wonder if that figure includes WISPs and cellular, which would bring down the average considerably.
