    We already have private 100gbps in Australia and our public network just trialled it last year so rollout is expected this year there as well.

    Why is anyone celebrating 50gbps? I can’t imagine Australia is anywhere near leading here.

      Come on mate, internet in Australia is pretty shit after the NBN fiasco. Let me know when any of those those 100gbps lines reach 1gbps xD.

          The article you linked describes plans reaching up to 1000Mbps (1Gbps).

          That’s only 2% of the speed of the theoretical 50Gbps maximum OP’s article discusses (and 10% of the 10Gbps real-world speeds currently available in China according to the same article). I think you have your units mixed up.

            It was in direct relation to 1gbps.

              Then I guess it’s my bad thinking you were trying to show 100 gigabit plans

              None of those plans actually do reach 1gbps though, you kinda proved their point with your link

                Those plans do not reach 1gbps at 7pm when every family in the neighbourhood is online, that is to be expected.

                Under ideal situations proximity and network congestion they are capable of hitting the full 1gbps.

              I think you may be confused? 1Gbps is about as good as it gets in Australia.

      This would be for a business, surely? I can’t imagine any individual having a use case for those speeds.

      I can get 8 gigabit symmetrical if I want to, but I don’t.

        It’s up to the ISPs what plans they sell. But cost wise it would be so prohibitive that only a business would buy it for the first few years for sure.

          Not only that, but what’s the use case? Who on earth is slinging that much data around?

              Who would have a server like that actually in their house?

              Linus Tech Tips, a company that films multiple hours of 4k or higher content every day, which is uploaded to an offsite backup, as well as uploading edited videos to multiple platforms, made a big deal about having a 10 gigabit Internet connection.

                LTT are also a bunch of loonie toon characters cosplaying as techies who lost all their data multiple times to malpractice. I’d hardly uplift them as a banner case.
