fastest broadband

A 75 year old woman from Karlstad in central Sweden has the world’s fastest internet connection.

Sigbritt Löthberg’s home has massive 40 Gigabits per second connection, thousands of times faster than the average residential connection and the first time ever that a home user has experienced such a high speed.

Sigbritt is no ordinary 75 year old. She is the mother of Swedish internet legend Peter Löthberg who, along with Karlstad Stadsnät, the local council’s network arm, has arranged the connection.

Sigbritt will now be able to enjoy 1,500 high definition HDTV channels simultaneously. Or, if there is nothing worth watching there, she will be able to download a full high definition DVD in just two seconds.
