Fastest Internet Speed: Think, if you can download the entire library of Netflix at that time, it is not a joke, but it is a real picture of internet technology recently revealed in Japan.
In June 2025, Japan’s National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) broke the record of the world’s fastest internet speed. He transmitted the data at a speed of 1.02 petabits per second i.e. more than 1 million gigabits every second.
But what does this speed mean to us? Let’s understand.
Download all video games in 1 second
All the games on Steam have a total size of about 1.2 petabytes. With this new speed, you can take all the games in your system in a few seconds from Baldur’s Gate 3 to Countter-Strike 2.
Stream 10 million 8k video together
At such a fast speed you can stream 1 crore 8k video simultaneously. That is, the entire population of New York and Tokyo should be run separately, yet the speed will remain.
The music library of the entire human civilization in one stroke
According to Spotify, a one minute song is about 1MB. Accordingly, you can download the music of 67 million songs i.e. about 1,27,500 years in a second.
Save Wikipedia 10,000 times
The English Wikipedia is about 100GB. With this speed of Japan, you can download it 10,000 times in a second. Even if you talk about all languages, a lot of speed will be saved.
AI and global data sharing will get new dimension
The real wonder of this record braking internet will be seen when data centers, AI systems and cloud services made in every corner of the world can be added to real-time together. This speed can prove to be a strong foundation for the next generation of autonomous technology and 6G network.
How did Japan do this amazing?
NICT did not bring any new technology, but used the same fiber optic cables that are running around the world today. The only difference was that they used four core and more than 50 wavelengths and this speed retained up to 51.7 km, ie this technology can also work completely in the real world.
Will this internet come to our house?
Not now, the internet speed in our homes has not reached even the terabit. But this achievement of Japan can become the foundation stone of the future for undersigned cables, national broadbands and 6G networks.
