Japan Shatters World Record With 402 Terabit Internet Speeds

When your surfing the Internet or streaming sports do you hate when it buffers or drops out or do you prefer pop up ads coming up at you at lightning speeds?

In a stunning leap forward for global connectivity, a team of researchers in Japan has broken the world record for internet speed, hitting a jaw-dropping 402 terabits per second (Tb/s). That’s over 1.5 million times faster than the average U.S. broadband speed of 226 megabits per second.

To put it in perspective: a 170GB video game like Call of Duty: Vanguard could be downloaded in just 3 milliseconds — faster than the blink of an eye.

This breakthrough surpasses the previous record of 301 Tb/s, set by a U.K.-based team just months ago. The new speed was achieved using advanced fiber optic technology, utilizing multiple wavelengths to send vast amounts of data simultaneously. It’s a clear indicator of what’s coming in the age of Beyond 5G networks and high-bandwidth applications like AI, metaverse experiences, and real-time 8K streaming.

Experts believe these fiber systems will become foundational in future communications infrastructure, especially as demand for faster, more reliable data continues to skyrocket. While consumers won't experience these lightning-fast speeds just yet, innovations like this pave the way for the digital ecosystems of tomorrow.
