High Speed Internet Gets Faster
Super Fast InternetOne thing that drives me up a wall is slow internet and I’m sure most of you out there can understand the aggravation that comes along with slow internet. I love high speed internet! But according to researchers at the University of Sydney High Speed Internet just isn’t enough!
Four years of development has past by and scientists now say the Internet is One thing that drives me up a wall is slow internet and I’m sure most of you out there can understand the aggravation that comes along with slow internet. I love high speed internet! But according to researchers at the University of Sydney High Speed Internet just isn’t enough!
Four years of development has past by and scientists now say the Internet is set to increase by 60 times faster than existing networks. They also say that this technology could boost existing networks by 100-fold without costing the consumer any more money and all done by a scratch on a piece of glass. Now that’s the American way!
Professor Ben Eggleton, CUDOS director, said that up until now information has been moving at a slow rate, but optical fibers have a huge capacity to deliver more.
“The scratched glass we’ve developed is actually a photonic integrated circuit,” Eggleton said. “This circuit uses the ’scratch’ as a guide or a switching path for information - like when trains are switched from one track to another - except this switch takes only one picosecond to change tracks. This means that in one second the switch is turning on and off about one million times. We are talking about photonic technology that has terabyte per second capacity.”
Sounds impossible don’t it!?
A test was done and proved to top at 60 times faster than existing local networks.
“We [now] use electronics for switching and that has been okay, but as we move toward a more tech-savvy future there is a demand for instant Web gratification,” Eggleton said. “Photonic technology delivers what’s needed and, more importantly, what’s wanted.”
What does this mean?
3. Surf Faster - Fact of life. We like stuff done right and fast! It would be nice to have faster load times but would eventually end up just the same as now with some saying “What’s taking so long?”
2. Download/Upload Speed - This would be a huge deal for ones that download torrents, music, ect. Most people I see downloading are normally patient but as always, ‘would love to get it faster!’
1. Gaming - Say hello to more online interactivity! Look for better graphics, higher Frames per Second and new computers!
FTW!

High speed internet needs this. I’m stoked for increased speed, but I’ll tell you what would make me even more happier…. new carriers. What is gonig to force COX communications (from Arizona, the only main provider of cable internet in the entire area) to get faster. While this is cheap, they might not be forced to upgrade… or it will cost more just because its faster.The old “get the old network for X, but get the new network for 2X” but it still costs us the same.
The real problem is lack of providers, and extreme lag with wireless or DSL. Look at TV for example. Dish and Direct are 2 major providers because they can offer the same product, with quality and customer service. Internet has not achieved this yet. Cable is flat out better then DSL and wireless is a joke (for gaming and speed). So, while this will allow for faster speeds, it may not allow for actual competition to drive down prices and increase quality— I’m hoping for some good news in the near future
