China launches world’s fastest internet with 1.2 terabit per second link, can transmit 150 4K movies a second::China is claiming that they now have the world’s fastest internet. Their new network transmits 1.2 terabits per second. That’s over 1200 gigabits, per second. At this speed, the network will be able to send 150 4K movies in less than a second. Furthermore, it can send all of Netflix’s global content

Underrated comment
China is claiming…
Aaaand I no longer have any confidence in the validity of this claim.
1.2 terabits is actually a doable amount

In People’s Republic of China, claim makes you
Edit: or…claim gets paid for you!
When I see these pro-China pieces, I remember that Chinese citizens can’t speak freely, exercise political will, or breathe clean air. As well as China’s actions towards the annexation/militarization of surrounding waters, erasure of Tibetan and Uyghuar cultures, and propagation of destabilizing online propaganda.
Chinese citizens can breathe clean air. Japan is only a 4 hour flight away
That’s an unusual way to spell Taiwan, but sure?
Taiwan air is not that good, actually. It has heavy industry, so AQI of 100 days happen often
I was gonna say isn’t China a big ol landmass of a country with diverse climates like most big countries? I recently saw a photo I could have sworn was taken in the bahamas or some other stereotypical tropical paradise but no apparently southern China has some cool beaches lol
Actually, yes, the air quality is good in places away from heavy industry. Hainan has some good surfing spots, it’s usually what people think when they think about China beach spots. That said, it’s as expensive as California because it’s one of the few great beach places that Chinese people without a passport can go to (other benefits being everyone speaks Chinese, the food is familiar, etc.). Thailand is a much better value for money, for example
All true. They have their own version of this though.
“When I see pro American pieces, I remember that their citizens are obese and undereducated, or subjugated by centuries old race caste system and incarcerated at very high rates. Their schools are failing, their cities are riddled with crime, their infrastructure is crumbling, half of them hate the other half, and they wield imperial control around the world with their military, killing a million Iraqis to secure their oil.”
I’m sure they’d love to come live in the US though. Lines at the US visa offices in China have been enormous.
Funny thing is, I don’t see articles that say “America launches (best AI thing / fastest chip / 5g bs)” … just the company (usually international) that did the work.
Also all true, sadly. I’m so lucky to be European, although it’s not paradise here, either. But still…
After everything Europe did in the 20th century I think y’all best just keep quiet for about a century. “Not paradise…” Jesus.
Bully for your grand government benefits package. Huzzah. Meanwhile the rest of the world is still unwinding your colonial legacy and world wars. What’s that? You have a hot war going on now? Im so lucky to be a Californian.
I don’t think I get your point
You gonna be okay?
Fuck right off. Seriously, fuck off. It’s none of our faults, everyone involved is fucking dead or certainly not on Lemmy.
You can take your misdirected feelings and shove them right up your stupid ass.
You just emptied your fuck gun at me but watch me raise one hand like Neo and drop them on the floor.
The comment I replied to is like an American showing up to a thread about slavery and saying “gee! That’s awful! I’m so glad I’m an American!”
You don’t brag about your just-recently-overcome legacy of horror. I will shit on Euro smugness every time, because here’s what it says:
“We raped the world of resources and slaves for centuries but we took all that wealth and built nice social democracies for ourselves! Aren’t we lucky!”
No sir, you can fuck right off.
Maybe don’t brag about your social programs when they’re funded by hundreds of years of rape and pillage? Idk, just an idea
On second though nah you’re right, your continent is super enlightened now that it gave up colonization less than a hundred years ago
Let’s all step back and be glad we’re not in China or Russia.
In about 60 years we’re gonna see Russians in here acting all smug about the shit they were able to buy with wealth their country stole from Ukraine
Not that I think your point makes any sense but it’s a bit rich coming from a US American
Check my post history, find a single example of me bragging about the United States, I dare you.
“but whatabout”
This is moat likely a core/main/back bone switch that feeds many smaller switches. Its not outside the norm, we’re seeing 400gb and 800gb switches that are easily able to push that much bandwidth out a single port. 1.2tb or 1.6tb switches are the next logical step. You’ll only find these switches in massive datacenters or for server clusters like for AI or high performance computing
My campus is working on upgrading our redunant 100gb ISP connections to 400gb next summer, so not necessarily just for HPC/AI/‘massive datacenter’.
Granted,
A) our 100gb edge routers are reaching end of life
B) a LOT of grant proposals will be able to put down “400gb uplink on our campus”, which helps land research money
C) The new routers will probably run for 5-6 years before we start scheduling an upgrade, so its considered money well spent on future proofing.
Our actual bandwidth utilization normally peaks at like 22gbps (every now and then we do see it get closer to 75gbps, but that’s perfsonar running tests to/from other institutions).
Thank you for dropping some savory knowledge!
It has to be. There’s nothing in anyone’s house that can use anything remotely approaching that much bandwidth.
Slamming into the great firewall faster than ever?
Haha thanks for the good chuckle
Don’t worry, bandwidth will still be shit because of all the spy funnels and filters traffic is run through
149 camera feeds of the person watching the 1 video should be enough no?
Internet implies that multiple separate networks can all use this link at 1.2 tbps. This is not the case.
What a horribly written article. I think I read the same thing 4 or 5 times. Just padding I guess to fill the available bandwidth?
Lol thanks for the heads up
But I guess no externally routable Internet address?
it’s probably just an internal link
Internet in China is basically a giant intranet.
So, internal Internet?
Isn’t that just called intranet?

no more like a link between 2 nodes that belong to the same AS
Now I want a fiber optic keyboard cleaning brush
Let me read this article from my made in China iPhone.
Plug that shit into my veins
Great, now websites will get even more bloated.
