kemosabe Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 Paris, France, July 09, 2014 Bell Labs, the research arm of Alcatel-Lucent (Euronext Paris and NYSE: ALU), has set a new broadband speed record of 10 gigabits-per-second (Gbps) using traditional copper telephone lines and a prototype technology that demonstrates how existing copper access networks can be used to deliver 1Gbps symmetrical ultra-broadband access services. Achieving 1 Gbps 'symmetrical' services – where bandwidth can be split to provide simultaneous upload and download speeds of 1 Gbps – is a major breakthrough for copper broadband. It will enable operators to provide Internet connection speeds that are indistinguishable from fiber-to-the-home services, a major business benefit in locations where it is not physically, economically or aesthetically viable to lay new fiber cables all the way into residences. Instead, fiber can be brought to the curbside, wall or basement of a building and the existing copper network used for the final few meters. The Bell Labs tests used a prototype technology called XG-FAST. This is an extension of G.fast technology, a new broadband standard currently being finalized by the ITU. When it becomes commercially available in 2015, G.fast will use a frequency range for data transmission of 106 MHz, giving broadband speeds up to 500 Mbps over a distance of 100 meters. In contrast, XG-FAST uses an increased frequency range up to 500 MHz to achieve higher speeds but over shorter distances. Bell Labs achieved 1 Gbps symmetrical over 70 meters on a single copper pair. 10 Gbps was achieved over a distance of 30 meters by using two pairs of lines (a technique known as “bonding”). Both tests used standard copper cable provided by a European operator. source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximus Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 It would really suck with FUP of 175gb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosh Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 I don't think it'll happen in India for another 10 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 LOL. First let them give me 10Mbps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
playstation Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 LOL. First let them give me 10Mbps. Hyderabad walo ko 50 mbps milta hai....almost at par with develop countries like UK and all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALPHA17 Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 Hyderabad walo ko 50 mbps milta hai....almost at par with develop countries like UK and all. It is at par, not almost at par. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
playstation Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 It is at par, not almost at par. uk mein 80 mbps ka connection bhi hai..actually 300 mbps tak hai/...lekin suna hai woh bohat expensive hai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 Hyderabad walo ko 50 mbps milta hai....almost at par with develop countries like UK and all. Goa is pretty backward where stuff like this is concerned. Penetration is very low. For example the city I live in has only one provider i.e. BSNL. Hathway does exist but only wirefree plans which are totally rubbish, latency and speed wise. And this is the port city. Other cities have BSNL and other providers but the plans are idiotic, price and fup wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALPHA17 Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 ^^ Yeah! And they have the FUP issues like we do too. Average is around ~25 UP / DOWN and you can get that from BEAM in Hyderabad. More if you got the monies. Goa is pretty backward where stuff like this is concerned. Penetration is very low. For example the city I live in has only one provider i.e. BSNL. Hathway does exist but only wirefree plans which are totally rubbish, latency and speed wise. And this is the port city. Other cities have BSNL and other providers but the plans are idiotic, price and fup wise. Most of us are in the same boat Sir. And private players who have the infrastructure can and will charge a killing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harjas Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 lol 10gbps give us 8mbps without fup and we'll be happy with that much only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
playstation Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 lol 10gbps give us 8mbps without fup and we'll be happy with that much only chotu..Tata ka le le...Rs 1685 and 160gb fup 8 mbps....sahi hai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hussain Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 In my city the cable provider also proved internet... 100gb fup... 10mbps fiber connection for 1100 per month...only issue is that it almost never gives me 10mbps speed ... 7 8 at most ... Mostly just 2mbps.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kemosabe Posted October 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 It will happen sooner than most of us thinking, since this tech can use existing copper wire tech (BSNL is almost everywhere India). Also don't compare India's internet situation with tiny nations, we have enough variety to fill the entire solar system.

piper Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 cool profile pic, are you a fan of The Ghost Who Walk ? BTW , Right to Internet Access is a human right as per UN - source I recall Finland having a Right to broadband of minimum 1Mbps for every citizen. As in, it has to be available. No excuse like 'no technical feasibility' as ISPs often do here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
