Japanese researchers have set a new record. The research team reached a new high in data transmission – Internet speed. The new record set amounts to 420 Tbps – 1.6 million times faster than the average US medium.
The Photonic-Network-Laboratory at Japan’s-National-Institute-of-Information-and-Communications-Technology (NICT) deployed traditional optic fibers with varying transmission bands with varying amplification technologies.
NICT recorded a statement “The newly developed technology is expected to make a significant contribution to expand the communication capacity of the optical communication infrastructure as future data services rapidly increase demand.”

However, NICT believes that the new technology is still not applicable for commercial use.
New record-setting data transmission will allow users to download 12,500 films in a single second, which is three times larger than the whole Netflix database. Moreover, games like Call of Duty Ops 6 are in a millisecond. Furthermore, the USA’s broadband average speed amounts to 248.27 Mbps and an upload speed of 34.23 Mbps. So, the Japanese team’s new record stands three times faster.
