A new record has just been broken in terms of Internet data transfer speed and curiously, it is measured in Netflix catalogs per second.
Netflix has such an extensive catalog of series, movies and documentaries that basically no home computer would be able to have it fully downloaded. But it seems that this is precisely why it was taken into account for Internet speed tests.
A new record
UCL engineers confirmed through their own official Web than have managed to make the fastest transfer of information through the Internet, which is 5 times faster than the previous record.
Thanks to the joint work with the companies Xtera and KDDI Research, a data transfer of 178 terabits per second was achieved.
To make everything sound much more impressive (and to make their work known more easily) the researchers confirmed that with this data transfer speed, the entire Netflix library could be downloaded in less than a second.
Think about what that means, it would not only be the fact of downloading a series and a couple of movies that you like, imagine that in less than a second the entire Netflix library is already on your computer. From that series that you love to that documentary that you did not know and thousands of other productions.
It sounds really incredible but it really is, it is a huge achievement that was achieved thanks to the efforts of these researchers led by Dr. Lidia Galdino.
This is being worked thanks to the new navigation needs and downloading files that the pandemic has created in virtually the entire world.
Although it is not certain that we will see this in Latin America in the near or distant future, what is expected is to be able to bring this technology to households to start making more interesting and competent use of the Internet.
