[@khaledsh8506]

this has nothing to do with latency, by speed they mean bandwidth. The amount of data transferred per time increased but its speed to reach its destination is almost fixed at speed of light.

[@Slackow]

@@khaledsh8506it means more computers can use shorter paths though, so it does help speed quite significantly, also greatly reduces the cost of faster speeds

[@khaledsh8506]

@@Slackow yes you’re right, it is definitely one of the steps to reduce latency

[@calccalccalc]

for people asking, unfortunately no, this won't remove all lag from online games. The breakthough in this video broadens the bandwidth of fibre broadband, so you can send more data at a time, but this doesn't mean you can send data more frequently. To use a car as an analogy, improving it in the same way would increase the size of the vehicle, but how fast it travels would stay the same. We already send data pretty much at the speed of light (fibre optics are amazing) but this still means there will always be an upper bound ping of about 150ms, that is with a direct internet connection from opposite sides of the globe under ideal conditions. if we want to significantly lower the ping ceiling, we kinda need faster than light communication (still very scifi, but could happen in our lifetimes thanks to AI).

[@floydstash]

Its not that the lag will be less, but we will be able to connect many more players in one match with the same latency than currently possible. So where currently 50-100 players in a cluster is the max, i forsee we will be seeing battles the size of 50k-100k players.

If they manage to release that even in 6 months or a year, it would be one hell of a good deal. Top internet in the WORLD for only double? Did you even read the title of the video or watch it? Did you click the thumbnail and go straight to the comments? Come on man. You have to use your brain, even on the internet. And beyond that. The amount of power needed to use this data is impossible for modern household computers.

[@StefanPaunVideo]

our hardwares are not ready for this speed

[@elliotnayrand3589]

When will this thing will be on ours computers ? 🤩

[@user-eq3dm4zt5w]

Just have a question : is it possible to generalize these kind of speed ? Even just a 100Gbits/s on a massive scale or are there limitations nowadays (software, hardware...), is it feasible on a large scale and for a reasonable price ? (If you have videos or articles to share would be awesome)

[@cantinadudes]

Why wouldnt it be? It uses existing infrastructure so no big extra costs for the providers. Ofc they're gonna raise the price a bit but logically there should be no significant increase in price. Actually it'd be smart to lower the price a bit once you have the technology as an ISP cause compition will be fierce

[@user-eq3dm4zt5w]

@@cantinadudes To reach 7Gb/s of speed, you need to pay extra to have your own fiber to the home like Jackfrag did (was more than 150£ per month), so it's not that simple. 1Gb/s of speed is considered a lot in Europe and you need to pay an extra to your ISP for this, otherwise you're stuck at 300Mbits/s

[@daydream605]

​@@user-eq3dm4zt5wand that's if people's basic tech devices could even run these speeds. Imagine a galaxy S9 trying to hit 600gbps, and then customer complains about speed. Or even a high end gaming pc brought to its knees because of the download. The network load, decompression and compression on the CPU and SSD in conjunction with the ram would indeed make the computer sweat. Atleast the GPU would be happy.

[@Lunacy_Phoenix]

@@user-eq3dm4zt5wNot always the case. I'm in the UK and Average speeds here around 50Mbps down -15Mbps up. I'm not in the densest of cities (1hr away from town central) but I have a 900Mbps Down AND up Fibre to the home connection that I pay a FIXED £25 per month for. My old 1Gbps down and 52 up Fibre to the street package used to cost me £56 a month. Anywhere charging over the equivalent of £30 for near 1Gbps speeds is ripping you off period!

[@azymondias9162]

you would have severe limitations on hardware. to my last knowledge the fastest comercialy available SSD is the Crucial T705 2TB wich has write speeds up to 0,012747 Terabits/s or 12747 Megabits/s, wich is nothing compared to these internet speeds and the service you are downloading from also has to support these amount of upload speeds

The fiber can go up to 10 gbit/s or 1.25gb/s that's 30% of the best writing speed you could have. 4 million times of that is so much of a fantastic number it's a joke at this point.
