Just about the bandwidth you’ll need to handle an Ultra-Hi-Def 3D video stream !.
Her son owns the company.

In a related story, Sigbritt Löthberg was found drowned in 1s and 0s when her superhigh speed internet connection sprang a memory leak. She swam as long as she could but soon tired when the overload of bits reached the ceiling of the second floor of her Karlstad home. She is survived by her grieving son Peter Löthberg who was last seen three hours ago donning scuba diving gear prior to disappearing into the frothing maelstrom of data bits seeking his new Windows Vista computer, which he had loaned his mother. “I don’t know how I would survive this loss,” Peter wept, “I really loved that computer!”
Karlstad city officials were at a loss as to how to turn off the flow of pornography, mp3s and bit torrent files that were still streaming into the small cottage where the tragedy occurred. A large tornado of air is spinning around the Karlstad Stadsnät ISP office as more and more data is pulled into the feed and directed to Sigbritt’s home. The wind velocity is estimated to be over 200 mph and five Pakistani techs were dragged into their telephones by the suction when panicked Karlstad Stadsnät operators called tech support for help.
Reports coming from as far away as Pahrump, Nevada, USA, say that hard drives are being stripped of data to feed the voracious internet feed to Sigbritt’s broadband connection. Suggestions have been made that to prevent the drain of all data from all computers in the world, the World Wide Web may have to be shut down until the disaster abates.
Is there PC that can handle 40G/sec? A modem?

40 Gigabits is equal to 4 Gigabytes.
LOL!
It takes longer than that for me to see what I've written after hitting "Post"!
Now that’s what I call ‘Wired’!
Unfortunately she has the Algore and Hillary show on every channel.
I think you’re right. It must be 40 Gigabits/second, which is aprox. 4 Gigabytes/second. A DVD is approx. 5 Gigabytes worth of data, and this article mentions it takes less than two seconds to transfer one...

But she needs terabytes worth of ram!
Nice but not very useful.
No PC can come close to accepting that much data that fast.
And what server can serve even remotely that fast?
Currently not even hard drives read or write nearly that fast.
That’s a bit like having a road designed for cars that go 10,000 mph - and having no cars that will go over 300 mph...
Researchers of the Swedish University Network ( SUNET ) have beaten the Internet2 Land Speed Record using two Dell 2650 machines with single 2GHz CPUs running NetBSD 2.0 Beta. SUNET has transferred around 840 GigaBytes of data in less than 30 minutes, using a single IPv4 TCP stream, between a host at the Luleå University of Technology and a host connected to a Sprint PoP in San Jose, CA, USA. The achieved speed was 69.073 Petabit-meters/second. According to the research team, NetBSD was chosen "due to the scalability of the TCP code" .
A T1 is 1.44 Megabytes/second. It’s like having a 1200 baud connection when you can have cable or DSL.
Funny! Reads like a sci-fi.
You have such an imaginative mind.
It is a pity, but you have to remember, the countries that lead the way with fast internet offerings, don't have the spread out population like the United States has. It's not economically feasible outside of suburbia.
I'd be happy if I wasn't stuck to dialup while trying to justify the $300 modem lease fee, and on top of the ~$65 a month fee, outrageously high latency of satellite internet, which will dump you down to dialup speed if you go over your monthly bandwidth capacity. I'm beyond the limits of DSL, and cable and Wi-Fi aren't even offered here.
...sorry about the messed-up numbers and missing info. That test was much longer ago than I knew, too (early 2004).
280 / 60 seconds...
And it was a little over 5 gigabits per second—not megabits.
It’s interesting to note that Peter Löthberg was in on that test, too, though.
The source server and destination server have exactly the same hardware and software configuration.
Hardware:
Intel Xeon, 3.00GHz dual core (woodcrest)
SUPERMICRO X7DBE motherboard
4GB memory
500GB SATA disk
Chelsio S310E-SR 10Gigabit Ethernet Adapter with PCI-express x8 I/O Bus
I’m looking forward to reading this as soon as it finishes downloading from my dialup connection.
