Swedish woman gets superfast Internet

"STOCKHOLM, Sweden - 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."

But seriously, who really needs that speed? Don't you have more than enough with 6, 4 or even 1.5 Mbps? What do you really do that justifies this amount of speed? Do you still watch TV via cable? Did you know that you only need 1.5 Mbps to download IPTV? So, unless you have 4 computers downloading streams for IPTV at the same time (meaning you, your wife and your 2 kids are watching TV shows on 4 different computers at the same time... mmm...) then, just then you might need 6+ Mbps.

Well, more speed then more charges then more profit for the company providing this service.

Thanks for reading.
