Google Begins Testing 50 Gig Fiber Internet

Researchers from Nokia and GFiber Labs (the experimental arm of Google Fiber) successfully achieved 41.89 Gbps download speeds on a live Google Fiber network. This marks the first time that Nokia’s 50G PON (passive optical network) technology has been used on a Google-owned network, and its one of the only examples of live 50 Gig networking in the United States.

How long before pop ups are back and commercials are sent to anything you are doing online.

Crying in german. Multiple friends of mine who live in city centers of huge cities still have 16Mbit connections.

Meanwhile the fiber rollout isn’t going well here because the bottom price sub-subcontractors f-ed up driveways and sidewalks so much they’re no longer allowed to install fiber in places.

Much bandwidth for a DDoS <3

I’m shocked that Google Fiber hasn’t yet been added to the list of services they’ve shut down because they got bored of them.

Maybe that’s still to come.

I thought most of the google fiber rollouts where constantly stuck in legal battles with the telecoms. I know here in my state, att basically blocked it constantly by claiming they didn’t have the resources to move their wires to another spot on the public poles.

Getting customers to have a faster internet connection should mean that they visit more sites/do more searches which should mean more ad impressions, which should mean more pathways to revenue generation for Google. Customers not having access to fast internet is an impudence to Google’s future revenue generation.

You can connect a lot of data about someone, and then send them a lot of ads at 50Gbps.

We have fibre in Cambodia, but… It’s mainly sub 100Mbps for affordable lines. 1Gb worldwide would be great first!

Can we work on expanding existing fiber so most places get at least a single gig fiber first?

There is already some news about it, but I don’t think you will like it. Link to post

We don’t have to make everything perfect everywhere before we make improvements to something.

We have more than enough resources to increase availability, and to improve existing connections.

I have a feeling the people making fiber internet faster aren’t the same people installing it in neighborhoods.

Zwiebel ,

Google also isn’t the people making fiber faster. It’s scientists in labs

Google basically gave up because even with their bankroll, dealing with the regulatory bullshit monopolies current providers had a lot of places was prohibitive.
