This record far surpasses the previous one of 402 terabits per second, also achieved by NICT in 2024. The feat was accomplished using standard fiber optic cables over a distance of 1,808 kilometers, marking a significant advancement in network technology.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A speed at which weights become irrelevant<\/h2>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To put this incredible speed into perspective, <strong>if a user had access to this capability, they could download heavy games like Baldur&#8217;s Gate 3, Red Dead Redemption 2, and Fallout 4, which total 330 GB, in just 0.002588 seconds<\/strong>. This possibility offers a fascinating outlook for the gaming community, <a href=\"https:\/\/netspeedmonitor.softonic.com\/\">suggesting a future where wait times for game downloads are a thing of the past<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Fallout 4 - Announcement Trailer\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XW7Of3g2JME?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, the current reality is less optimistic. Despite the impressive technical achievements, the infrastructure needed to enjoy such transmission speeds is not available to the average user. <strong>Even high-end computers, loaded with the most advanced components, cannot handle such a volume of data in the required time<\/strong>. Most households are still connected to the Internet with speeds that hover around only 20 megabits per second, a figure that pales in comparison to the capabilities demonstrated by the NICT.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The tests conducted point to a future where data transmission technology could revolutionize vast sectors, from entertainment to telecommunications. However, <strong>until the infrastructure and hardware technology adapt to those standards, these speeds will remain a distant promise for many consumers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"sc-card-program\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-program__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__img\" alt=\"Steam\" src=\"https:\/\/images.sftcdn.net\/images\/t_app-icon-s\/p\/3047d89c-96d0-11e6-8546-00163ed833e7\/2505233623\/steam-download.jpg\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-title\">\r\n        <span class=\"sc-card-program__title\">Steam<\/span>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-program__button sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/steam.softonic.com\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DOWNLOAD<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-rating\">\r\n        <svg class=\"rating-score__content\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.1\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\" viewbox=\"0 0 50 50\" enable-background=\"new 0 0 50 50\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><path class=\"rating-score__background rating-score--good\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><path class=\"rating-score__value rating-score__value--0\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-dashoffset=\"0\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><text class=\"rating-score__number\" content=\"\" text-anchor=\"middle\" transform=\"matrix(1 0 0 1 25 31.0837)\" data-auto=\"app-user-score\"><\/text><\/svg>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <span class=\"sc-card-program__description\"><\/span>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__bigpic\" src=\"\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\">\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-program__link track-link sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/steam.softonic.com\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 2025, the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology of Japan has set a new milestone in data transmission speed, reaching 1.02 petabits per second.
