What would anyone need 50Gb for?
Like seriously, what would that get you what you can't do now?
My local Network adapter isn't half that fast

We already have private 100gbps in Australia and our public network just trialled it last year so rollout is expected this year there as well.
Why is anyone celebrating 50gbps? I can’t imagine Australia is anywhere near leading here.
Come on mate, internet in Australia is pretty shit after the NBN fiasco. Let me know when any of those those 100gbps lines reach 1gbps xD.

This would be for a business, surely? I can't imagine any individual having a use case for those speeds.
I can get 8 gigabit symmetrical if I want to, but I don't.
It’s up to the ISPs what plans they sell. But cost wise it would be so prohibitive that only a business would buy it for the first few years for sure.
Not only that, but what's the use case? Who on earth is slinging that much data around?

Well, at least they're doing it quietly.
AT&T still hasn't installed fiber in my old neighborhood where one of their lines cuts straight through a row of houses that conveniently do get fiber, while everyone else is stuck on cable.
Did I mention they received billions in federal funding to upgrade everyone?

Because everyone there uses the Internet?
Yeah not one soul uses the internet over there, but they're doing it anyway just to shit on Verizon
I probably shouldn't have posted it that way. I've been to Bejing, but I picture a lot of rural rice farmers just NOT part of the Internet and of course with censorship rampant, I just figure, why so fast? Sounds like flexing. But maybe I'm wrong.
Even rice farmers watch Netflix.

So 50Gbps internet.
While us taxpayer and ISP consumer is getting fuck all for their taxes and fees
Parasites just looting.
50gbps **shared line using passive optical splitters. Bit misleading there Chona, nobody is getting an actual 50gbps connection to their house.
I'm sure the hardware for 50Gbps optics wouldn't be cheap for the consumer 🤣

Chinese infrastructure developing is truly impressive. I guess that's one benefit of being in an imperial dictatorship.
They are ostensibly a one party state, not a dictatorship. While Xi is the paramount leader, he claims he isn't a dictator and I definitely believe him. Also it seems like he doesn't have absolute control, but what do I know.
What do you think would happen if he started doing things the people able to recall him didn't like?

It feels like they are using this presidency to get as far ahead as they can.

Those will be some hot NICs.
Is there a community for that? Asking for a friend.
