Korea to Get 1Gbps Downloading by 2012

Quote:

While we're all celebrating Charter's 60Mbps broadband access here in the US, the Korea Communications Commission is spending $24 billion to secure 1Gbps access by 2012.

1Gbps allows you to download a 120-minute film in 12 seconds.

There's one small catch to the commission's plan, which is that only large cities in Korea will have access to the top tier broadband. But surrounding smaller areas will still have access to 50 to 100 Mbps speeds...or about 10 to 20 times the speed of what I get in my DSL-only apartment building.

In the words of Matt Buchanan, "That and bibimbap? Man I hate Korea." [Fareastgizmos]

I wonder if you passed like the bandwidth mark if you get your download speed taken to 500mb/ps.

............... :( canada sucks donkey ass for internet


and yea 1gbps would be awesome
but i bet it would cost alot, i mean if there going to spend 20 billion on something, there obviously wanting x2, x3, or even x4 times the ammount back etc

That's pretty amazing. I believe Comcast is beginning to use fiber optic wires now.

1Gb/ps i want that,but...full duplex XD

mine = 180 kb/sec ..
And thts like the best we will get here in India for a long long time to come ..
:| ... Darn!

180kbs w00t ? that is so lame O.O
I'm on 7mb/s O_O

Only in korea. I have to expect that on 2020, thnx for info

The fuck? I'm uber-happy with 600kb/s, using RapidShare premium o.O
Gimme 2mb and I'm ok.

speed means bigger things you can DL
now n days there files that would take anyone like 20mins or more to DL
depending on the file
or lets just say game wise it would take like atleast 30mins or more to DL a 4gb game file by file
with that u can cut that time beyond in a half LOL
but ya i wouldnt mind having that XD

30min/4gb?! Where can I buy that speed :O

lol DL a RPG game i know its more then 30mins
for me atleast like 2hours or so

WTH that is so high speeed xD
i have only 100 kb/sec
some frndz have 500 kb/sec max
in egypt

I pray for 2mb/s and they get 1gb/s... Looks like I'm moving to Korea.

Im downloading an avg of 100mb every 3 minutes or 1gb every half an hour.

I also use 100mbps at dedictated server but then I have to wait for it to download home :P

I am sick jealous ):!

180kps </3.

Ahaha
I using a school library's internet that's better than yours! Wow... you should look into that man (patience of a saint lol).

Oh well, that's all fine and dandy. Things move plenty fast enough for me already not to bitch lol. Faster would be more fun but I hardly see the point except to expand the ability of the internet. It'll just bring in new features having to do with larger files (likely media).

Blockbuster will become solely online one day... you just watch.

They're getting it when the world is supposed to end. A clue perhaps?

They'll be downloading so fast, all the servers will malfunction, overheat, and explode. Every site will go down except 4chan. All of the /b/tards will kill us all in search for their queen, Boxxy!

Yea... I had to ;x

Road-trip, joint-pay apartment anyone?
(Starts to save up)

lol, some companies in america offer private lines, but the fastests a non business can get is prolly 100mbit private line, but expect to pay a fantastic price for it. if the 1 gb upload speed is minimum price then id try to move to a south korea hosting service. XD
