A new test result from the USA shows that 1.25Gbps internet speed has been reached at home. This is how the company named Comcast announced its cable modem technology.
A company from the USA announced that it has achieved 1.25Gbps internet speed at home as part of the tests it carried out . This means that the company is using a new cable modem technology, breaking the internet speed record for the home.
This week, Comcast, a US telecommunications company, stated that a house in Jacksonville had 1.25Gbps internet speed on their internet network and the latency dropped to almost 5ms. Testing the cable modem technology reaching 1.25Gbps, the company is launching a 1 Gbps internet project at home .
Reaching 1.25Gbps in home internet with digital fiber optic and "Distributed Access Architecture" (DAA), the company stated that they are using a virtualized cable modem system. This speed test is seen as a turning point on the road to the "10G platform" that claims to deliver speeds of 10Gbps and higher for the internet.
"The greatest strength of our network technology is that it has the ability to reach tens of millions of homes without launching major excavation projects to keep up with these next-generation speeds ," Comcast manager Tony Werner said in a statement .
"This technology offers a way to meet the needs of the future and make gigabit speeds a reality for everyone, not just a select few."
For those who don't know, it may be possible to achieve symmetrical upload and download speeds on cable networks through the cable industry standard, DOCSIS . Still, such upgrades take years to reach customers - even in the US. A "bi-directional" version of DOCSIS that supports 10 Gb / s download and upload speeds was completed in 2017, and a version supporting 10 Gb / s download and 1 Gb / s uploads was introduced in 2013.
