World’s New Fastest Internet Can Download Black Ops 6 in Under a Second

A Japanese team has just managed to achieve staggering internet speeds of over 402 Tbps, which is fast enough to download any game in less than a second.

Internet speeds vary across the United States, with some major cities offering fiber optic options that can carry up to 10Gbps of speed directly to your gaming PC.

Tech experts have been racing to see how quickly data transfer speeds can increase over the years, but a team in Japan has managed to set the world record.

According to a report released by the Japanese Defense Ministry, National Institute of Information and Communication TechnologiesThe team managed to achieve speeds of over 402 terabits per second. This beats the previous records of 321 Tbps in October 2023 and 226 Tbps in March 2022.

That’s about 50 terabytes per second, which could theoretically download any game currently on the market – including Call of Duty Black Ops 6 and Baldur’s Gate 3 – in just a few milliseconds.

However, you won’t see speeds that high in your home anytime soon. The biggest hurdle would be the cost that ISPs would have to bear to try to achieve 402 Tbps speeds. Companies would also have to pass the price on to the consumer, meaning the monthly bill would likely be astronomical.

If you could integrate it into your home, another problem that users would face is hardware compatibility. Most motherboards that would be used in gaming PCs in 2024 offer support for only 1 Gbps and 2.5 Gbps, with some reaching 10 Gbps, which is nearly 400,000 times slower than the current record.

Not to mention that even if your PC’s motherboard supported these speeds, you’d still be facing another bottleneck: your SSD and RAM. Today’s high-end technologies like PCI-E Gen 5 and the highest speeds of DDR5 would still hold your computer back so much that installing a massive upgrade in your home would be pointless in the near future.
