Enormous breakthrough in blazing fast web speeds
That is the assurance of G.Fast. It is a brand new technology that can provide blazing fast web over the cables you have at home. For many, it’ll be the very first time they will have greater than one selection for broadband.
Israeli chipmaker Sckipio declared a new G.Fast option that can provide both upload and download speeds 750 megabits per second. That is 50 times faster than the broadband which you likely have coming into your house right now.
But soon even that can not appear fast.
Equivalent upload and download speeds have become increasingly significant, as increasingly rapid upload bandwidth is required by new technologies. Using virtual reality, uploading 4K videos or playing video games all need super fast upload speeds to work correctly.

Many customers of DirecTV have to purchase web from their local cable company, which is not cheap, or DSL net over their phone line, which is slow.
Since AT&T inherited a tremendous quantity of cable infrastructure with DirecTV (cables link your satellite dish to your tv), it wouldn’t be overly difficult or expensive to join those cables with AT&T’s fiberoptic cable service in your neighborhood.
AT&T has not given a timeline, yet, for G.Fast’s start.
Sckipio says the G.Fast technology will debut in America after this year. It won’t unavailable everywhere instantly, but Sckipio said a single phone company could roll it out to the whole nation in only four years.
Or, if you live in an apartment building, they’re able to use the existing infrastructure without having to rewire the whole building to provide rapid speeds.
Multi-home units like flats are a particularly attractive target for phone companies. DSL Internet over phone lines currently serves many of those flats. But that old technology is ineffective: DSL can lose up to 90% of its speed. G.Fast loses only 5% to 10% during exactly the same excursion.
Additionally, it solves a problem of deploying fiberoptic cables which was formerly the lone way to get super fast internet speeds to customers. Bringing fiber to residences is expensive and time consuming (and occasionally needs a firm to dig up your lawn). Bringing fiber to only to one house from the road can cost $100,000, according to Sckipio.
