Japan breaks Internet speed record by hitting 402 Tbps, so fast you could download Elden Ring in a millisecond

Internet.

Internet speed freaks, this one's for you: Japanese researchers have officially set a new world record for download speeds by hitting 402 Tbps (Terabits per second), breaking the 321 Tbps record they set last year.

That's effectively 402,000,000 Mbps (Megabits per second), which makes the 950 Mbps I get at home from my own ISP (thanks Sonic) look like a rounding error. It's so fast that you could download all 18+ GB of Elden Ring—and heck, your entire Steam library to boot—in less time than it took to read this sentence.
