Researchers in Australia have set a world record internet speed of 44.2 terabits per second. The team from Monash, Swinburne and RMIT universities used a ‘micro-comb’ optical chip with infrared lasers to transfer data across existing communications infrastructure throughout Melbourne. The highest commercial internet speed in the world is currently secured in Singapore, where the average download speed is 197.3 mbps.
