A 75-year-old woman from Karlstad in central Sweden has been given a scorching 40 Gbps internet connection — the fastest residential connection anywhere in the world. Sigbritt Löthberg is the mother of Swedish internet guru Peter Löthberg, who is using his mother to prove that fiber networks can deliver a cost-effective, ultra-fast connection. Sigbritt, who has never owned a computer before, can now watch 1,500 HDTV channels simultaneously or download a whole high definition DVD in two seconds. Apparently the hardest part of the whole project was installing Windows on Sigbritt's PC.

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.....

......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.

*faint*

Old people are interested in doing public service.. So here are some of the things that she can do to help PUBLIC....

1) Hard Disk Companies must donate her some hundreds of harddisk and few high end servers..:)
She might download all the torrents and seed them all for unlimited time..No more problem for us to SEED on our low bandwidth. No more low speed problems in torrents.
Or else she could open a site like rapidshare and provide free account with no upload limit..Then everybody can download directly..

2) She can host our websites for free...(With volunteer Sys Admin to manage technical things)

Or else she must appoint us (no quarrels guys...I'll manage her computer.. Kuch log kapda dhoiye..Kuch ladke jhaadu-pocha ka kaam kijiye...etc etc)..
Hum sab log milke kaam karne ke baad baitkar HDTV mein downloaded movies dekhenge..OK :D :D

I have 2 one is slow and the other is the slowest Internet connection on the plannet ,
1st one is the Airtel GPRS connection that used to give me a speed og 4-5Kb (but now i screwed then up get a speed of 6 kbps sometimes up 13kbps.without paying a penny to the airtel

The second one is the BSNL dial up on my land line connection which gives me a speed of 1-2kbps some times i have to spend the whole night waiting a page to open----and i can bet that this is the slowest connection in the world -
I proud to be an indian ,where the people living in the citis are getting more 2mbps and in we in the villages get 1Kbps and paying even more than a 512kb connection

A 75-year-old Swedish woman currently has the fastest broadband connection in the world.
Sigbritt Löthberg, from Karlstad in central Sweden, enjoys a massive 40Gbps connection - many thousand times faster than the average connection speed delivered to homes. It's the first time such a high speed as ever been delivered to a home user anywhere in the world.
Sigbritt has only recently taking up computing. She is the mother of Swedish 'internet legend' Peter Löthberg, who arranged the connection along with the local council's network department.
"This is more than just a demonstration," said Hafsteinn Jonsson, network manager at Karlstad Stadsnät.

First of all, it's not 4, it's forty. 40Gbps. And gigabit ethernet is already out long back which means the LAN card supports 1000Mbps = 1Gbps.

@gx: LOTR HDrips are not that great quality. I've got the return of the king, but its quality, though better than DVD, isn't all that great. I suggest you wait till the HD DVD/Blu ray is out, to experience LOTR the way it was meant to be experienced. And don't worry, I'll be downing them anyway :)

Also, audio quality that is currently available is just DD 448kbps or in some cases 768DTS.
