Researchers from Nokia and GFiber Labs (the experimental arm of Google Fiber) successfully achieved 41.89 Gbps download speeds on a live Google Fiber network. This marks the first time that Nokia’s 50G PON (passive optical network) technology has been used on a Google-owned network, and its one of the only examples of live 50 Gig networking in the United States.

    I’m shocked that Google Fiber hasn’t yet been added to the list of services they’ve shut down because they got bored of them.

    Maybe that’s still to come.

      Well, you have to see, but Google Fiber is a division of Alphabet. Although the closest thing to that was in 2016 when it halted its expansion plans.

      You can collect a lot of data about someone, and then send them a lot of ads at 50Gbps.

      Getting customers to have a faster internet connection should mean that they visit more sites/do more searches which should mean more ad impressions, which should mean more pathways to revenue generation for Google. Customers not having access to fast internet is an impudence to Google’s future revenue generation.
