i know we all want one of these...
A 75 year old woman from Karlstad in central Sweden has been thrust into the IT history books - with the world's fastest internet connection.
Sigbritt Löthberg's home has been supplied with a blistering 40 Gigabits per second connection, many thousands of times faster than the average residential link and the first time ever that a home user has experienced such a high speed.
But Sigbritt, who had never had a computer until now, is no ordinary 75 year old. She is the mother of Swedish internet legend Peter Löthberg who, along with Karlstad Stadsnät, the local council's network arm, has arranged the connection.
"This is more than just a demonstration," said network boss Hafsteinn Jonsson.
"As a network owner we're trying to persuade internet operators to invest in faster connections. And Peter Löthberg wanted to show how you can build a low price, high capacity line over long distances," he told The Local.
Sigbritt will now be able to enjoy 1,500 high definition HDTV channels simultaneously. Or, if there is nothing worth watching there, she will be able to download a full high definition DVD in just two seconds.
The secret behind Sigbritt's ultra-fast connection is a new modulation technique which allows data to be transferred directly between two routers up to 2,000 kilometres apart, with no intermediary transponders. According to Karlstad Stadsnät the distance is, in theory, unlimited - there is no data loss as long as the fibre is in place.
"The most difficult part of the whole project was installing Windows on Sigbritt's PC," said Jonsson.

Syd heads get on down...
Monster Children Gallery Presents
Kill Communication
An Exhibition of New Works by KILL PIXIE
20th July – 9th August 2007
PREVIEW THURSDAY 19TH JULY 6.30PM
When communication dies the world descends into turmoil. War, pestilence, and dysentery reign. But we can be saved from the perils of silence. A new medium of understanding is upon us. Soul to soul through eye beam radio waves - this is the language of KillPixie. This is the dawn of Kill Communication.
Like L.Ron Hubbard, Sydney artist Kill Pixie has gathered a cult following of fanatics who use his visual messages as the basis for their entire existence. Now, Monster Children Gallery is pleased to present his latest gospel: KILL COMMUNICATION, an idea born not of evil but of salvation the freedom of thought.
The exhibition KILL COMMUNICATION will debut at the Monster Children Gallery in Darlinghurst on July 19th at 6.30pm.
