301,000 Gbps Internet by Tapping New Fiber Wavelength Bands

This may be approximately 25% of the theoretical maximum bandwidth (1.2 Pbps) [0]?

0. https://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/56240/maximum-th...

They compare it with broadband to come with big numbers such as million times bigger, but actually it could be a mere doubling of fiber capacity?

> 4.5 million times faster than the average home broadband.

> alongside the commercially available C and L-bands, we used two additional spectral bands called E-band and S-band

anyone have better sources?

Crazy! I can't get fibre internet in Central London

Nimbys won't let them trench, current trunking and poles are likely at capacity.

They don’t even want to dig fibre for you when you have a freehold house in WX. Even offered them to pay for the digging. Currently waiting for Starlink to arrive and see if their speeds are better.
