How big is the internet?
The internet was growing beyond our expectations. According to data scientists, the size of the internet will reach 40 zettabytes by 2020. And the amount of data generated in 2030 was estimated at 450 exabytes. But now let's take the four legends of the internet that are Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Facebook are collectively stored 1,200 petabytes. If you don't know what is bytes. Let's explain it simply:
1024 megabytes equals a 1 gigabyte
1024 gigabyte equals a 1 terabyte
So 1,200 petabytes is 1.2 million terabytes approximately🤔
The fastest speed of internet achieved?
The researchers at the University College of London made a new world record for the fastest internet achieved on this planet that is 21,250 gigabytes per second, for reference
You can download all movies on Netflix within an eyeblink😄 please don't get excited you may not have sufficient storage to download that. and this is not available now commercially and will take many years to get into commercial use.
THE INTERNET SPEED OF NASA's SUPER COMPUTERS
The space organization network is called the shadow network which can transfer 91,000 megabits per second.
The speed of commercial internet
4.2billion active internet users are in the world right now. It had grown 400 million users in the past 1 year with 9,00,000 new users every day.
The UAB united Arab emirates serve the fastest internet to their users with a minimum speed of 190 Mbps and the U.S.A serves the speed of 82 Mbps of minimum speed.
And the researchers are trying to use double optic fiber wire instead of using a single wire in one cable this may improve the speed of the internet in future
Is 5G faster than 4G?
Yes, of course, 5G can transmit 20 GBps per second
And if 5G is connected with other sophisticated physical network connections like broadband Internet it will reach 20GB download speed and 100GB of upload speed within a millisecond of latency.
This is not even enough for this digital world and new generations of mobile networks are coming soon and users may get internet with low latency.
Why is the U.S 5G is slower?
In the u.s most of the spectrum available In the lower frequencies, this can carry the bulk amount of data in many distances but gives a slower speed
And another way that mm-wave with higher frequency can carry a short amount of data but with lesser distances.
We hope that we get good internet speed in future years.
