Researchers at Japan’s National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT), in collaboration with Sumitomo Electric, have set a new world record for internet speed by achieving a data transmission rate of 1.02 petabits per second. This breakthrough was demonstrated over a distance of approximately 1,100 miles using a cable roughly the size of a shoelace. The speed is fast enough to download the entire Netflix library in under one second and stream millions of 8K videos simultaneously. This record speed is approximately 3.5 million times faster than the average internet connection in the United States and about 16 million times faster than the average internet speed in India.
