We're testing this same tech in the UK as well: https://www.ispreview.co.uk/index.php/2025/02/openreach-and-nokia-claim-uks-first-live-test-of-50gbps-broadband.html
China might be a little ahead but it's hardly a leapfrog.

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?
So they received money for something they didn't do. They should pay those back.
But someone at AT&T would have to sell their yatch
That yacht is fine because someone else at AT&T rotated into a position at the FCC

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.
This is for PON technology. 1 fibre can be split 32-ways to feed, you guessed it, 32 customers. 50g over a fibre that is split 32-ways with a minimum of 15db loss is impressive.
I guarantee those 100gbps circuits are a single fibre all the way from the provider to the customer. And they are expensive, very expensive.

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.

Those will be some hot NICs.
Is there a community for that? Asking for a friend.
I'm not, I want to subscribe to this newsletter
Hot NICs in your .local
So 50Gbps internet.
While us taxpayer and ISP consumer is getting fuck all for their taxes and fees
Parasites just looting.
Chinese infrastructure developing is truly impressive. I guess that's one benefit of being in an imperial dictatorship.
It feels like they are using this presidency to get as far ahead as they can.

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
That's the thing, it's hard to imagine what we'll use it for until it's available.
Well, at least they're doing it quietly.
