224GB Internet Connection Speed Technology

[mce]

Imagine downloading dozens of full length HD videos in a second?

You don't have to imagine anymore: See the tech in action here

There is ONE BIG CATCH though...

Maybe the workaround is to use this technology in conjunction with WiFi?

What's the catch tons of money?

Watch the short video. It should be obvious.

The good news is that there's a quick workaround. Go hybrid!

Sadly, there's more than just that one catch.

The speed cited is in the lab. In the real world, the bottleneck for internet is not the speed of the wifi typically - it's the speed of the wired connection that moves from your cable modem or similar modem device to the ISP.

Unless those connections are upgraded to multiplex fiberoptics, all you'll get is a really fast connection to the bottleneck.

There are also other technologies that are capable of this other than LiFi, for example the silicon chip pffft.

So all we need to do is wait 10 years for hard drive speeds to catch up to this new high download speed. For every blazing fast tech that's ahead of its time, there's a hundred other things that will bottleneck the shit out of it.

Isn't it a bit much for all technologies to be at the same level?

If anything, innovations at one part of the chain push innovations at other parts.

For example: People were wetting themselves when companies like CIENA were laying massive digital pipes. All the cries of overcapacity overlooked the possibility that video will be streamed.

Fast forward to today: youtube and tube sites.

Very true. When we built our house last year I installed 2 and 3 drops of Cat 6 cable in every room in the house. When Bell installed their Fiber Optic cable it was slower than expected until I realized they used shitty patch cables (10mb/s!) between their hardware and mine. When I swapped them with Cat 6 I saw a nice speed improvement.



Wifi is convenient sure but much slower than wired.

Simply not possible with our current technology, its not one fucking ketch idiots its like 100.

Something as fast as this is not even needed for most of the "users", I would say.
