The death of Game of Thrones: How the Internet will demolish this series. The death of Game of Thrones: How the Internet will demolish this series. Read the entire article below. Or just the sentence that states: "To put that in perspective, they noted it was fast enough to download an entire Games of Thrones series in high definition within one second." http://www.zdnet.com/article/think-googl...84754384421679931766 Think Google Fiber's fast? Nokia to show off tech that's 1,000 times faster Core internet networks could see a major boost in coming years with the new terabit-speed optical-fiber links of the type being unveiled by Nokia Bell Labs. Liam Tung By Liam Tung | September 16, 2016 -- 10:10 GMT (03:10 PDT) | Topic: Networking The terabit speeds achieved by Nokia over fiber will present a major leap forward over current internet-backbone network limits Researchers will this week demonstrate a newly-refined data-transmission technique that can deliver one terabit per second (Tbps) over optical fiber. Nokia Bell Labs, Deutsche Telekom T-Labs, and the Technical University of Munich will be showing off how a technique called Probabilistic Constellation Shaping, or PCS, can deliver blistering 1Tbps speeds over a fiber connection. The work provides more momentum behind the push to bring terabit networks to reality. It follows another optical breakthrough earlier this year by researchers at University College London, who achieved speeds of 1.25Tbps. To put that in perspective, they noted it was fast enough to download an entire Games of Thrones series in high definition within one second. Of course, thanks to streaming services such as Netflix, video bingeing doesn't require downloading a whole series at once and 5Mbps will suffice for HD-quality streaming. Still, terabit-speed networks will meet growing demand for higher-capacity core networks, thanks in large part to streaming. Terabit speeds will present a major leap forward over current internet-backbone network limits of 40Gbps to 100Gbps. For comparison on the consumer side, Alphabet's Google Fiber embryonic US fiber-to-the-premises service is offering 1Gbps connections. Nokia Bell Labs, which came to Nokia via its Alcatel Lucent acquisition last year, says its optical breakthrough will allow operators and enterprises to improve the distance and capacity of high-speed data transmissions in optical metro and core networks. "The trial of the novel modulation approach, known as Probabilistic Constellation Shaping (PCS), uses quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) formats to achieve higher transmission capacity over a given channel to significantly improve the spectral efficiency of optical communications," Nokia explains. "PCS modifies the probability with which constellation points, the alphabet of the transmission, are used. Traditionally, all constellation points are used with the same frequency. PCS cleverly uses constellation points with high amplitude less frequently than those with lesser amplitude to transmit signals that, on average, are more resilient to noise and other impairments. This allows the transmission rate to be tailored to ideally fit the transmission channel, delivering up to 30 percent greater reach." It's not clear when the technology will be deployed in real networks, although the demonstration is described as having been achieved in "real-world conditions". A Nokia Networks spokesman told ZDNet that earlier testing had achieved 1Tbps on a round trip between the German cities of Stuttgart and Darmstadt, as well as between Stuttgart and Nuremberg. It had also recorded 0.8Tbps between Stuttgart and Berlin. The technology may eventually be useful for backhaul networks for fiber-to-the-home connections, but currently is not applicable to backhaul for wireless networks, the spokesman added. "The success of the close collaboration with Nokia Bell Labs, who further developed the technology, and Deutsche Telekom T-Labs, who tested it under real conditions, is satisfying confirmation that TUM engineering is a label of outstanding quality, and that TUM teaching gives our students the intellectual tools to compete, succeed and lead globally," Technical University of Munich professor Gerhard Kramer said. | |

Wow that does sound mental speeds, it does sound like I'll be left in the dark ages though as most of the time my internet speeds are around 1Gbps and thats if I'm lucky some times its half that when downloading on certain sites. I can only dream of downloading a porn movie in less than a second and not 15-20 mins. "Women are like tricks by sleight of hand, Which, to admire, we should not understand." WILLIAM CONGREVE | |

I was on dial-up for many years. My download speed averaged 4-6 KB/sec (4 to 6, not 46). But that's normal, with a 56 kbit/s connection, which is what most dial-up is. Then I switched to DSL and got around 1 Mb/sec, which was a vast improvement. (I'm not really sure what my exact download speed was--my memory is bad--but it was a vast improvement. Recently I've been getting a max download speed of 50 Mb/sec which is 6.25 MB/sec (bits converted to bytes). On a good paysite, I usually average around 4-5 MB/sec download speeds. But it will probably be many years before this amazing terabit speed will be available to the average consumer in the US. I'll probably be dead by then. Below are the Internet download speed recommendations per stream for playing movies and TV shows through Netflix. 0.5 Megabits per second - Required broadband connection speed 1.5 Megabits per second - Recommended broadband connection speed 3.0 Megabits per second - Recommended for SD quality 5.0 Megabits per second - Recommended for HD quality 25 Megabits per second - Recommended for Ultra HD quality Those figures are in bits, not Bytes. Elephant, If you are getting 1 Gbps, that's equal to 125 MBps, which is not available to a regular consumer in the US. You would need to be a large business, university or government to find such speeds. So I guess that Europe offers far faster Internet speeds, and for a much lower price, to consumers.

By the way, Game of Thrones leads the Emmy nominations list, as the HBO show is up for 23 awards. It will be televised tonight. | |

^If I'm not wrong this is an historic number of nomination for a television show. Games of Thrones and in a larger way HBO in general is why we see so many high profile actresses and actors that for decades claimed they would never do TV now jump at the opportunity. Long live the Brown Coats. | |

Lol sorry I meant to say MBps not GBps, no I'm still slow and not upgraded yet to anything faster. "Women are like tricks by sleight of hand, Which, to admire, we should not understand." WILLIAM CONGREVE | |

elephant, you killed my illusions. I read a long time ago that Europe had a faster, more advanced Internet delivery system than the US. But you (I assume you are in the UK) have 1 MB/sec download speed, which is far slower than my US Internet connection of approximately 6 MB/sec download speed. I could upgrade to double my speed for another $10/month, but 6 MB/sec is fast enough for my needs.  | |

Google Fiber is theoretically gigabit internet, but it isn't available in many cities, and you would potentially actually bottleneck on hardware (most spinning drives have theoretical max speeds of over 1Gb/s, but they have typical read/writes around 100MB/s). So you would probably only see peak download speeds if you were writing to SSDs, and of course if the server had the capacity for it. Other ISPs are also rolling out gigabit, I believe CenturyLink has it in some areas in the NW. Bunny Lebowski: I'll suck your cock for a thousand dollars. Brandt: Ah hahahahaha! Wonderful woman.
