She is a latecomer to the information superhighway, but 75-year-old Sigbritt Lothberg is now cruising the Internet with a dizzying speed. Lothberg's 40 gigabits-per-second fiber-optic connection in Karlstad is believed to be the fastest residential uplink in the world, Karlstad city officials said.

"His mother isn't exactly making the most of her high-speed connection. She only uses it to read Web-based newspapers."

What a waste...

I'd want to run JPH!P on that connection.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but its only 40Gb (GigaBit), 40GB would be GigaByte (e.g. aproximate 8 times as much)

5GB/s. It that speed I don't think it matters too much.

^^ Sure it does, with 40GB/s you could download 8 times as much content at the same time!
