Ultra-Fast Internet (Coming Soon)

                 There is a good news for people who get upset with slow speed of Internet connections. As per reports published on March 12,2012, thanks to a new ground-breaking fibre-optic technology, lighting quick Internet speeds, more robust connections and a considerable increase in network capacity will soon be possible. The landmark project is known as Sardana and involves a consortium of European Universities. They have already demonstrated speeds of up to 10 Gigabytes per second (Gbps), which is about 2000 times quicker than todays fastest Internet speeds.
                The researchers also showed that such speeds can be achieved at relatively little extra cost using existing fibre infrastructure. The fully optical technology would mark a giant leap forward in fibre network performance. It is sure to prove a boon for these times characterised by hectic Internet traffic. According to estimates, yearly global Internet traffic will need to be measured in Zettabytes (one trillion Gigabytes) within next three years, which is a four fold increase from now. The data traffic size will be equivalent of all the movies ever made passing through Internet operators' networks every five minutes.
