1Gbps Broadband!
 
Quote:
HONG KONG, February 2, 2004 - Cisco Systems announced that Hong Kong Broadband Network Limited ("HKBN"), a leading fixed-telecommunications network service ("FTNS") provider in Hong Kong, has launched 100Mbps broadband service based on Cisco® Metro Ethernet Internet Protocol (IP) and optical network solution. This is the first enterprise-class broadband access service for the mass residential market in Hong Kong. HKBN also plans to deploy the world's fastest residential 1Gbps (1000Mbps) service by June 2005, building on the existing Cisco IP infrastructure.

Fiber-to-the-building (FTTB) was deployed between the buildings using the Cisco ONS 15454 Multiservice Transport Platform (MSTP) and Cisco Catalyst 4507R Switches. The HKBN's optical backbone can support up to 64,000 Gbps.

We'll probably get it in around 2030. Microsoft will release Service Pack 2 for Windows 2030, and it'll still take an age to download as the service pack will be 1 terabyte (about 1024 Gigabytes)..

:D
