75-Year-Old Woman Has World’s Fastest Net Access

A 75-year-old woman in Sweden who has never owned a computer before now has the world’s fastest home internet connection – a whopping 40 Gigabits per second.

So what can you do with a 40 Gigabits per second internet connection?

For starters, that’s fast enough to download a hi-def movie in two seconds.

Just imagine playing World of Warcraft with a connection like this. You’d be the LPB (Low Ping Bastard) for sure :)

Her son is Cisco executive Peter Lothberg, who arranged the connection as a demonstration of how long-distance, ultra fast connections are inexpensive and easy to set up.

Apparently the most difficult part of the whole project was installing Windows on Sigbritt’s PC.
