Want to download a full-length movie to your PC in less than two seconds? Follow the example of Swedish woman Sigbritt Lothberg – who is 75 years old. Her 40 gigabits-per-second fibre-optic connection in Karlstad is believed to be the fastest residential uplink in the world. It is many thousand times faster than most residential connections, said Hafsteinn Jonsson, head of the Karlstad city network unit. Jonsson and Lothberg's son, Peter, worked together to install the connection. The speed is reached using a new modulation technique that allows the sending of data between two routers placed up to 1240 miles apart, without any transponders in between, Jonsson said. "We wanted to show that that there are no limitations to Internet speed," he said.
