75 year old woman, has Worlds fastest home Broadband connection at 40Gbps
Posted: July, 15 2007

A 75 year old woman from Karlstad in central Sweden has been thrust into the IT history books - with the world’s fastest internet connection.

Sigbritt Löthberg’s home has been supplied with a blistering 40 Gigabits per second connection, many thousands of times faster than the average residential link and the first time ever that a home user has experienced such a high speed.

But Sigbritt, who had never had a computer until now, is no ordinary 75 year old. She is the mother of Swedish internet legend Peter Löthberg who, along with Karlstad Stadsnät, the local council’s network arm, has arranged the connection.

“This is more than just a demonstration,” said network boss Hafsteinn Jonsson.

“As a network owner we’re trying to persuade internet operators to invest in faster connections. And Peter Löthberg wanted to show how you can build a low price, high capacity line over long distances,” he told The Local.

Sigbritt will now be able to enjoy 1,500 high definition HDTV channels simultaneously. Or, if there is nothing worth watching there, she will be able to download a full high definition DVD in just two seconds.

I don't get it. You can't even transfer data from memory to your hard drive anywhere near that fast. Must be some kind of joke.

Where do i sign up for this? ...without moving to Sweden...
This would be absolutely amazing, especially for a gamer. No one could possible aim at you at CounterStrike any more, you'd be pulling the trigger before they even see you. hehe

Look on the bright side, it decreases her chances of aggravating hypertension. Which is very important at that age.

you got it right, I for one have hypertension because of my turtle-like connection and always cuts off on me for no reason at all.
