class=\"image-credit_imageCredit__YMlqS\">Japan&#8217;s internet is record breaking (Getty Stock Image)<\/cite><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">The US\u2019s average internet speed is 242 Mbps, according to a report by the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT), making Japan so far above us in the internet technology department.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">It was created when the Photonic Network Laboratory team at Japan&#8217;s NICT, joined forces with Sumitomo Electric and European Partners, to make the world&#8217;s fastest network.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">Achieving this, they were able to make an internet which sends data over 1,808 km per second using a special fiber optic cable with 19 cores.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">The optic fiber cable is the same size as what\u2019s currently used in the industry, measuring at 0.125 mm thick.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">However, the total data sent across the large distance was 1.86 exabits per second times kilometres, which is the highest ever achieved in history.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">Sumitomo Electric designed the optical fiber cable, and NICT built the transmission system, using transmitters, receivers and 19 looping circuits, 86.1 km long.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">The signals then passed through the loops 21 times to carry 180 data streams to its destination.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">If talking about Netflix downloads isn\u2019t enough to convince you of how fast it really is, it\u2019s estimated to be able to download the entire English Wikipedia 10,000 times in just one second, which would take about100 GB of space, as per Gagadget.<\/p>\n<div
