Create faster broadband l 44 films per second

British companies Alcatel-Lucent and BT reported that they got the fastest broadband in a joint trial. Achieved speeds of 1.4 terabits per second, which it is enough to transmit 44 HD movies per second. The test was conducted by a connection 410 kilometers from the iconic BT Tower in central London, and the city of Ipswich in eastern England. The challenge was to leverage existing infrastructure to achieve data transfers more efficiently. Despite the good news, it could be many years before the users can notice any effect. The progress registered in London is seen as a very important service providers pass internet because it means that an increasing amount of information can be sent through the broadband infrastructure already exists. This reduces the need to invest in costly improvements and upgrades of facilities and equipment. "BT and Alcatel-Lucent are taking advantage of what they have," said Oliver Johnson, chief executive of analyst firm Point Topic broadband. "That allows them to increase their capacity without spending more money, "he added. Alcatel-Lucent chain told BBC that the demand for wider bandwidth increases at a rate of 35% every year , which creates the need for more efficient information transfer mechanisms. The pressure is on companies providing internet, especially when it grows increasingly popularity of online services that transfer large amounts of data, such as online movie site Netflix. High speeds are achieved with fiber cable technology already exists and has been installed in most of the British territory and elsewhere.
