#72> 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). what?
Err dude, you aren't reading. This is AVERAGE speed. The average internet speed in the US or UK is nowhere near 197 megabits. In the UK it's 28.9Mb and in the US 32Mb.

#73This is not directly internet related. The original title is better: > Ultra-dense optical data transmission over standard fibre with a single chip source As a compromise, I'd propose: > 44.2 terabit/s optical data transmission over standard fibre with a single chip source
Much better, because what the heck is "internet speed". The most sensible definition to me is payload over IP protocol possibly on an existing commercial link. That's the only way I see relation to internet and the internet.
In the past, the "Internet speed record" was measured in units such as "terabit meters-per-second":
> ... they had managed to send nearly 840 gigabytes of data across a distance of 16,346 kilometers (10,157 miles) in less than 27 minutes, at an average speed of 4.23 gigabits per second.
> This was equal to 69,073 terabit meters per second (or 69,073 trillion bits sent through one meter in a second), which exceeded the previous record set by CalTech and CERN earlier this year. [0]

> The team successfully transferred data at a rate of 8.80Gbps, which is equal to 264,147 terabit-meters per second (Tb-m/s). [1]

> Internet2 ... has this week announced a stunning new record speed of 9.08Gbps - equal to 272,400 terabit-meters per second (Tb-m/s) [2]

No idea if it's still done that way or not but I don't see any mention of distance in this article (haven't looked at the paper).

Re: Researchers achieve optical data transmission speed of 44.2 terabits per second
#74I 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.
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.
I've not used one and can't speak to their quality but:
> The CRS305 is a compact yet very powerful switch, featuring four SFP+ ports, for up to 10 Gbit per port. The device has a 1 Gbit copper ethernet port for management access and two DC jacks for power redundancy. The device is a very sleek and compact metallic case without any fans, for silent operation.

> Suggested price $149.00

Anything with multi-Gig or 10GbE is still quite expensive, unless you score a good deal on used enterprise gear that will definitely have screaming fans. There are a few switches that have mostly 1GbE ports and a few 10G ports and are fanless.

#76Earlier quoted context omitted.
In Sweden we have 10Gbe consumer Internet for $40/month
I'm paying $50/mo for 1Gb in the US. I thought I was doing well
I am paying 13€/mo for 600M down, 60M up, unlimited (France). The plan is actually 1Gb but this cannot be reached in my flat.
But the Internet is slow and/or unreliable in many places in the country side, when available at all. We are far from having these speed on average across the country.

But it is directly internet related. If you check the actual paper [0] - I had to search for it - you will see this quote:
We demonstrate transmission over 75 km of fibre in the
laboratory as well as in a field trial over an installed
network in the greater metropolitan area of Melbourne,
Australia.
These cables were routed from the labs access panels,
to an interconnection point with the AARNet’s fibre
network.

I think latency of a network will always lag behind that of local storage. Even traveling at the speed of light, going around the circumference of the earth takes over 100ms. Obviously not all network requests go around the globe, but the fact that local storage is physically closer to your computer will always be a sizeable advantage.

You could always just put a fast NIC in those two machines and just go point to point no switch involved.
