Kiwis have 25 gigabits per second broadband

Not bad for flightless birds who eat roots and leaves

Kiwis boffins have demonstrated a 25 gigabits per second broadband — both downloading and uploading.

Broadband infrastructure wholesaler Chorus demonstrated those speeds over their existing passive optical fiber network [PON].

The demonstration in Auckland achieved 21.4 Gbps throughput, tested simultaneously on the same strand of fibre that ran an 8 Gbps symmetric HyperFibre connection, and a 900/550 Mbps UFB link.

Chorus uses Nokia's Lightspan FX and MX access nodes for multiple types of fibre service, including standard GPON, the XGS-PON behind HyperFibre, point-to-point Ethernet, and envisages the 25 GPON service to run on it as well. It is based on the Quillion chipset line cards, which Nokia says are 50 per cent more energy efficient than earlier models.

Sadly Chorus has no wholesale 25 GPON product, with its fastest offering topping out at a disappointing 8/8 Gbps HyperFibre.
