Link: 43Tbps over a single fiber: World’s fastest network would let you download a movie in 0.2 milliseconds | ExtremeTech

 

A research group at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), which was the first to break the one-terabit barrier in 2009, has today managed to squeeze 43 terabits per second over a single optical fiber with just one laser transmitter. In a more user-friendly unit, 43Tbps is equivalent to a transfer rate of around 5.4 terabytes per second — or 5,375 gigabytes to be exact. Yes, if you had your hands on DTU’s new fiber-optic network, you could transfer the entire contents of your 1TB hard drive in a fifth of a second — or, to put it another way, a 1GB DVD rip in 0.2 milliseconds...

They'd roll this out in the UK .... With a bandwidth limit of 500mb

looking forward to it ,but it seems a long time to be realized in the real world but not the lab.
