Web browsing with her hair on fire

Thursday, July 12, 2007 around 12 pm mountain time

I thought my Apple Airport delivered the Web at high speeds at 1 Gbps on my home network. I guess not. This Swedish woman is surfing at Mach 5 with her hair on fire.

“A 75-year-old woman from Karlstad in central Sweden has been given a scorching 40 Gbps internet connection — the fastest residential connection anywhere in the world. Sigbritt Löthberg is the mother of Swedish internet guru Peter Löthberg, who is using his mother to prove that fiber networks can deliver a cost-effective, ultra-fast connection.

Sigbritt, who has never owned a computer before, can now watch 1,500 HDTV channels simultaneously or download a whole high definition DVD in two seconds. Apparently, ‘the hardest part of the whole project was installing Windows on Sigbritt’s PC.’”

Thanks to Mike G., in my office, for passing this around.
