The team from Australia researches from Monash, Swinburne, and RMIT University has achieved a data speed of 44.2 Terabits per second (Tbps). In this speed, you can download 1000 high definition movies within a second (theoretically). Currently with an average download speed of 43.4 Mbps Australian connections. Australia is currently placed 62nd in the world ranking of global internet speeds despite having the fourteenth largest GDP.

Research
The research team led by Dr. Bill Corcoran (Monash), Distinguished professor Arnan Mitchell (RMIT), and Professor David Moss (Swinburne) achieve data speed of 44.2 Terabits per second (Tbps) from a single light source.
This breakthrough has the capacity to support high-speed internet connections. It can connect over 1.8 million households. It can also address the problem of the virtual jams during peak time.
The new device used to hear called micro-comb which replaces 80 lasers, which is smaller and lighter than the other hardware. the load testing was done using existing infrastructure, that used by NBN. It is the first time any micro-comb has been used by in the field trial and possesses the highest amount of data produced from a single optical chip.

While demonstrations of this magnitude are usually confined laboratory conditions, the team manages to achieve these records speeds during existing communication infrastructure where they were able to efficiently load-test the network.
"we're currently getting a sneak-peek of how the infrastructure for the internet will hold up in two to three years' time, due to the unprecedented number of people using the internet for remote work, socializing and streaming. It's really showing us that we need to be able to scale the capacity of our internet connections," said Dr. Bill Corcoran from Monash University
"And it's not just Netflix we're talking about here it's the broader scale of what we use our communication network for. This data can be used for self-driving cars and future transportation and it can help the medicine, education, finance, and e-commerce industries, as well as enable us to read with our grandchildren from kilometers away"
"What our research demonstrates is the ability for the fiber that we already have in-ground, thanks to the NBN project, to be the backbone of communications network now and in future, We've developed something that is scalable to meet future needs," Corcoran said.
