Shame we wont see it for ages and good old Aussies came up with the technology ...AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE

OMG ..."Using photonic technology that has terabit per second speed, the circuit uses the scratch as a guide or a switching path for information"

sounds nearly as fast as bigpond cable

terabit Jim, not kilobit.

wait did you say terabit?

Everyone shut up, I can't hear Hyperslide.

should make my cs pings a bit better anyway

i still need my goat prons faster;

Paging trog to this thread to tell us we don't need internets that fast!

Wow! A terabyte a second!

Helloooooo streaming High Def movies!
Video shops etc will be out of date! *Envisions steam-like product but for movies on your home theatre*

Hmm and your hard drive will bog it down to 100mb/s!!!

And you memory will fill up in 10ms!@!!

um... Reeltime, AppleTV, etc.

There was a thing on a kids show yesterday about new wireless technology, maybe what's liniked above (haven't looked yet) and it transmits using microwaves.

They have tested a wireless transmission using a full DVD movie and it took something like 6 seconds.

It's a terabit. Still very fast, but very different.

And I stream 1080p movies over my 54Mbit wireless network, with plenty of bandwidth to spare.

Somehow, I don't think this particular technology will be aimed at soho networks. Though I'd certainly like to have my own personal optically switched fibre network :)

oh no, terrorbits! the internets just got spooky :(

well of course its spooky when goat pron is invovled, yes invovled

I just meant it in that you don't need as much bandwidth for HD movies as a lot of people seem to think.

porn industry must be delighted.

Yea fair enough, I was thinking about the benefit of fatter/cheaper backbone links for content providers who wished to provide such a service in HD - for example, if you wanted to stream blu-ray (maximum bitrate approx 54 Mb/s) to 100,000 people, that already brings you up to 5.4 Tb/s, which is a pretty pricey piece of pipeline (especially internationally) as things stand.

LOL ...so true :P

Ermm really?
Wicked! Too bad I watch channel BT most of the time.
AppleTV looks pretty wicked, but is it even available in australia? and dont you need the specific Apple TV to watch it all?

isnt apple tv, just the box for storing medias on, which works on any tv?

im pretty happy with the speeed of bigpond cable tbh

What's the point of such high speed if you've got s***-all quota and have your uploads counted? It's like having a Ferrari that can only drive a block before it's out of petrol and has to be physically pushed to go any further (car analogy ftw).

I think the monopoly issue here in Australia has to be resolved before we see any real-world benefits.

Are you serious? 720p movies become choppy when I try to stream over wireless (wireless to ps3 though).

unless we suddenly increase our population to 100 million things ain't gonna change.

f*** for a faster future!

I've been driving my ferrari top speed for 6 years no probs, with the exception of two months, both of which took a phone call of less than 10 minutes to fix

paging your anal retentive failure to this thread

10gb is tonnes

if you wanted to stream blu-ray (maximum bitrate approx 54 Mb/s) to 100,000 people, that already brings you up to 5.4 Tb/s

surely by the time we get to streaming blu-ray everyone will be using multicast so your argument is moot :D

The corporate world will always screw us over ... I would love to see this change but my hopes are fleeting

Yeah mate. The PS3 is connected to the router via cable, but my PC is wireless, I don't know if that makes a difference. My router is only 54Mbit over wireless, so the PS3 couldn't be getting the data any faster than that.

I read an article about some scientists across Australia, China and Japan processing data taken from 3 seperate telescopes of the same spot in the sky at the same time to reduce the analysis time from a few weeks to a few seconds.

Previously they were having to drop the data onto tapes, send to a uni, restore from tapes, process, send back, etc so it was a lengthy process. The test was to network all their systems together to achieve the same result and it worked.

Sounds boring, but the highlight was that within a short amount of time they had transferred around 10Tb of data over the few hours it took to record it all. They used their own network and not the commercial networks as they would be too cost prohibitive.

http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,25197,23917426-27702,00.html

Each telescope in the recent experiment required 512 megabits a second of bandwidth and the total amount of data captured was about 10 terabytes -- the equivalent of about 40 computer hard disk drives -- for about 10 hours of observation.

I had the same issue and same setup PS3 wired and PC wireless ... I switched over to CAT5 for both PC and PS3 and streaming wasn't an issue, you would thing that 54mbit would be enough but I put it down to something causing interference ...You might also find if ur using something like simple center to stream that might be the issue as well ...Hopefully this gives you a little insight

For the record, I'm sharing the movies using TVersity (not transcoding or anything), and there's only one thin wall between my PC and the router, so I have very good signal strength.

surely by the time we get to streaming blu-ray everyone will be using multicast so your argument is moot :D

Multicasting would be fine if you were just broadcasting a fixed stream, but if the users wants to play stuff on demand it's back to one to one as usual.

On the other hand, if local caching was available for such a service, than the service could at least multicast content to the local caches, then let the local caches stream files individually to users.

Of course, you'd want to have moved to IPv6 by then, for all the multicast enhancements. God knows how long it'll be until the average user has made (or been forced to make) the switch.

you would thing that 54mbit would be enough but I put it down to something causing interference

Keep in mind that you will never get close to 54 Mb/s actual throughput, because of all the additional overhead inherent in 802.11 based wireless - especially if you are using encryption for security (and I'd hope you would be, preferably wpa2).

Since the maximum bitrate for blueray is 48 Mb/s on certain movies you may run out of bandwidth plain and simple, although a nice fat buffer would probably help with that.

Edit: Apparently the maximum bitrate for blueray is 48 Mb/s for video+audio, or 54 MB/s for a data disc, my mistake.
