Sigbritt, 75, has world's fastest broadband

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.

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.(johnson, 2008)

Man, this lady is lucky she gets gets to to download hd movies in 2 seconds! For those who dont know how big a hd movie is,they are about 6 to 8 gigabites in size.Even though she might never use the net for anything else besides ordering medication and cat food(heh,heh im mean),it is still a great feat to be admired.
