šØ Japan Sets New World Record with Unprecedented Internet Speed ā”
In a groundbreaking milestone announced in July 2025, researchers from Japanās National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) have achieved a mindāblowing 1.02āÆpetabits per second (Pbps) ā the fastest internet speed ever recorded!
š§ To put that into perspective:
Thatās 1 million+ gigabytes per second
Download Netflixās entire library in a blink
3.5 millionĆ faster than average U.S. broadband
16 millionĆ faster than India's average speed
š” How they did it: Using a 19ācore optical fiber stretching ~1,800āÆkm, they sustained ultraāhighāspeed data transmission ā all on hardware compatible with existing infrastructure.
š°ļø While not available to the public (yet), this leap paves the way for:
6G networks
Global AI-powered data centers
Real-time 8K+ streaming & simulation
š Examples at this speed:

Download Netflix library In a fraction of a second
Transfer English Wikipedia (~100āÆGB) ~10,000 times in 1 sec
Stream 8K videos Millions, all at once, no buffering
