At this speed, you could download 12,500 movies in about a second, researchers say.
There's a new global internet speed record — and it's about six million times faster than Australia's average. A team at Japan's National Institute of Information and Communications Technology hit 402 terabits per second , breaking their previous record of 321 tbps, set in 2023. Australia's average internet speed pales in comparison, at about 66 megabits per second , according to Speedtest.
If a 3 mbps connection is needed to stream a movie on Netflix, Puttnam said a 402 tbps connection could support 130 million simultaneous streams. Gamers could also expect a hitch-free virtual reality experience playing games like Baldur's Gate 3 or Call of Duty. According to Speedtest.net, the global average download speed for fixed broadband internet is 93.93 mbps. By that measure, this new record speed is a few million times faster than what most of us get in our homes in Australia.
