We already have private 100gbps in Australia and our public network just trialled it last year so rollout is expected this year there as well.

Why is anyone celebrating 50gbps? I can’t imagine Australia is anywhere near leading here.

This would be for a business, surely? I can't imagine any individual having a use case for those speeds.

I can get 8 gigabit symmetrical if I want to, but I don't.

It’s up to the ISPs what plans they sell. But cost wise it would be so prohibitive that only a business would buy it for the first few years for sure.

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Not only that, but what's the use case? Who on earth is slinging that much data around?

Small time server admins?

Who would have a server like that actually in their house?

Linus Tech Tips, a company that films multiple hours of 4k or higher content every day, which is uploaded to an offsite backup, as well as uploading edited videos to multiple platforms, made a big deal about having a 10 gigabit Internet connection.

LTT are also a bunch of loonie toon characters cosplaying as techies who lost all their data multiple times to malpractice. I'd hardly uplift them as a banner case.

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Possibly not, but if their whole company can run off 10 gigabit, who needs 50 in their house?

[–] kata1yst@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 months ago

I didn't read that this was for residential connections?
