Swedish Woman Gets World’s Fastest Net Connection
Sigbritt, 75, has world’s fastest internet connection
A 75 year young woman from Karlstad in central Sweden has been thrust into the IT history books - with the world’s fastest internet connection. Fast enough to pull down HD-DVDs in 2 seconds or view 1500 HDTV channels simultaneously.
Sigbritt L?thberg’s home has been setup with a smoking hot 40 Gbps connection, that’s thousands of times faster than what you and I get at home.
Rank hath its privileges, or in this case age has its privileges? Nope, it’s the old story of “it’s who you know in high places” that’s applicable here. You see, until this connection was hooked up Sigbritt didn’t even own a computer, but her son Peter L?thberg is Sweden’s internet pioneer and he collaborated with the local networking council to setup his mom’s home as a demonstration of what’s possible for the rest of humanity if you invest in the right infrastructure.
