tommie gorman Posted April 19, 2006 CID Share Posted April 19, 2006 I assume that is fast! the Shoreditch project can access internet images and content at a speed of up to 2 billions of bits per second (2Gb/s). http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2-2072201,00.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

php Posted April 19, 2006 CID Share Posted April 19, 2006 Nahh.. that's not the fastest... I think the fastest in use is OC-256 which is a bit over 13.2Gbps. I believe there is also a project that had speeds in the Tbps range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe there is also a project that had speeds in the Tbps range. this is 2GB/s a OC 256 is 1.6GB/s but still its not the fastest, there is a OC-384 which is 20GBps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

just- Posted April 20, 2006 CID Share Posted April 20, 2006 guys guys guys that is a con, its not 2Gbps or 2Gb/s you only get 8Mb connection to your house and then inside the data center will be 2Gbps but not 2Gbps to your house i will take a pring screen The article that The Times has published seems to carry little resemblance to what you can read about the DigitalBridge project. The site clearly states 8Mbps as an access speed for both the PC on TV service and more generic PC connectivity. 8Mbps seems a long way removed from the 2000Mbps suggested by The Times. Reading more background suggests though that the PC on TV service, may actually be a server/thin client model, with the server located in Telehouse, and the connectivity for the service at that location is 2Gbps, what you would see on your TV is essentially a rapidly updating screenshot of a PC located in Telehouse. By leveraging PC style access onto the TV screen you can tackle the issues of people not having the money to buy a PC, though how useful a standard PC desktop is on what maybe a fairly old TV is another matter.
