But what if we told you things could get better? According to rumors, China has developed the world's fastest internet, capable of transferring a film like Tiger 3 150 times in a second. Do you still not believe us? Continue reading to learn more.

China launches fastest internet in the world

The South China Morning Post reports that China has created the world's fastest internet, capable of transmitting 1.2 terabits of data per second. According to the article, the speed is more than ten times faster than current average internet speeds of 100 gigabits per second. Even the recently improved fifth-generation Internet2 network in the United States has a maximum speed of 400 gigabits per second.

The infrastructure of the newly established internet covers over 3,000 kilometers, connecting Beijing, Wuhan, and Guangzhou via a huge network of optical fiber connections.

Tsinghua University, China Mobile, Huawei Technologies, and Cernet Corporation collaborated to launch the internet. Since its inception in July, the network has been subjected to extensive testing and has emerged as a tribute to the dedication of its founders.

Tiger 3 movie download can be done 150 times in less than one second.

Through an example, Huawei Technologies vice president Wang Lei demonstrated how quick the newly announced network is. He claims that the internet is so fast that it can transfer data equivalent to 150 high-definition movies in one second.

This means that an HD film, such as the recently released Tiger 3 starring Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif, could be downloaded 150 times in under a second using this new connection.

FITI project chief Wu Jianping from the Chinese Academy of Engineering, on the other hand, highlighted that the network is not only a "successful operation," but also gives China an advantage in building a "even faster internet."

Meanwhile, Tsinghua University's Xu Mingwei compared the new network to a rapid rail track, saying that it substitutes the need for 10 ordinary lines to convey the same amount of data. This makes the system more manageable and cost-effective.
