the word is that in places like japan, they have got 30gb broadband, what do you think true or false

i think the word is that, only in Japan they have 30 gb broadband and they have facilities for wireless broadband internet access even at stations and many other places

i m not sure coz i have never known anyone from japan, but i think its true coz i had seen an article on it on a tv channel

They probably do have it in development but don't have any public services that use it. The only use right now that I can think of for so much bandwidth would probably be massive datacenters. I'm assuming it costs a fortune to lay lines and would be much more expensive than even the current high end connections. The typical user would have no use for most of it would end up being a waste of money if anyone could afford it.

I agree with arigato.Its possible but whats use of it i you can comunicate only in small area.And btw what vould be cost developing that kind of network and also servers vould be high-end priced.In the end whats point in all that when web is restricted by certain broadband

this is all wrong. broadband is almost 30 gigs in america. BROADBAND. the definition here is that broadband is BROAD because it serves many people. most of you using broadband are sharing a BIG connection...with a dozen or 2 other houses. they limit each house to a certain ammount/fraction. ever wonder why broadband TOS's have a restriction on hosting servers at home? It's because you'd be hogging the fat line (broadband) all to yourself.

Could check with guinessworld records to see what the fastest internet transfer there is.



Im kinda guessing that, that indeed is faster than 30gb connection? lol

Why not? As soon as gigabit LAN is formed, gigabit internet service can come true. But that probably would take some time later for such service to exist. Currently the maximum broadband speed that I heard of is 25Mbps. Any faster elsewhere does anyone knows?

It could be just used by companies and not the public, like Arigato said. Or it could be what amhso said about the 30gigs being shared and not dedicated to each person.
Although I wouldn't be surprised if research centres with loads of supercomputers needed a 30gig line to pass information around. I think one of the worlds powerful supercomputers is in Japan, simulating Earth's climate or something along those lines. All that information being produced and recorded must need a nice fat line to pass through, although I guess 30gigs is a bit excessive.

I think in places such as Hong Kong, you can get 80Mbps.
