Don't envy this.
75 years old Sigbritt Lothberg is accessing the Internet at her home with the 40 gigabits-per-seconds fiber optic Internet connection, believed to be the fastest residential uplink in the world.
Location: Karlstad, Sweden.
How fast is it? A full-length movie like Transformers, Die Hard 4, and etc., can be downloaded just in 2 seconds. That's really superfast!
Designers: Hafsteinn Johnsson, Karlstad city network unit chief and Peter Lothberg, Sigbritt's son, also a networking expert.
Technology: New modulation techniques that allow sending of data between 2 routers placed up to 1240 miles apart with transponders in between.
Application: Sigbritt is using it to read the online newspaper rather than downloading movie as she is a new learner on Internet.
