The Internet of tomorrow: 100Gbps to your house by 2030
March 9, 2010
In less than 20 years we may see 100Gbps Internet connections in US homes. The UK telecoms regulator Ofcom commissioned a lengthy report on the future of fiber from the firm Analysys Mason. In it, the company sketched out the future of fiber capacity with a pair of handy charts. Both are clear: between 2025 and 2030, shared fiber tech will be able to offer 10Gpbs to each user; individual fiber can offer a full 100Gbps. Whether ISPs will support it or not is a separate question.
