This achievement was made possible by the successful development of a groundbreaking new type of optical cable.
This record speed is 4 million times faster than the average fiber optic Internet speed in the US, allowing users to download hundreds of thousands of high-quality (HD) movies in just one second.
Rough estimates suggest that the entire Internet Archive's massive library could be downloaded in less than four minutes at this speed.
