[FRIAM] Fastest Inet speed

[Marcus Daniels]

It isn’t meaningful at a consumer level.   Consider that even the newest PCIe 4.0 motherboards only have 256 Gbits/second unidirectional bandwidth; a computer couldn’t keep up.

Comcast describes their services<https://www.comcasttechnologysolutions.com/ip-transit-suite/wholesale-internet-services> as “One of the largest N x 100GB fiber optic backbones with multiple terabits of capacity”.   It would be an AT&T or Comcast type company that would use that kind of technology to widen their backbone.   (I know I want to see Gilligan’s Island in 8K.   It really adds a new dimension.)

What about upload speed on that? and what's the ETA for it actually being a thing?
