The scientists in the UK have achieved the "fastest ever" broadband speeds of 1.4 terabits per second -
enough to transmit 44 high-definition movies at once.
The joint test by British Telecom (BT) and French networking equipment company Alcatel-Lucent achieved the high speeds of
1.4 terabits per second on the existing fibre network in London.
The breakthrough is being seen as highly important for internet service
providers (ISPs), as it means a greater amount of information can be sent
through existing broadband infrastructure, reducing the need for costly
upgrades.
There are faster methods of transmitting data - such as the
use of complex laser technology - but this is the first test to
achieve such high speeds in "real world" conditions, outside testing labs, 'BBC
News' reported.
