Why Fiber Broadband Technology to Rule the Telecom World of Future

Fiber-optic broadband has long been touted as the future of the telecoms industry and once you learn a few key facts it is not difficult to understand its importance. Fiber is also spelled a Fibre. While many people are obsessed with wireless internet access, fiber optic may get slightly overlooked. However, as connection-speed requirements are increasing month by month, so too will the significant of fiber-optic broadband.
Fiber-optic broadband should be your fixed-line connection of choice because it has major benefits when compared with the ADSL broadband delivered by traditional copper wiring. Any ADSL customer will know that the download and upload speeds advertised by an internet service provider (ISP) have to be taken with a liberal pinch of salt. This is because they are usually rated at their theoretical maximums and not their real-world performance. The reason for this is that the nature of the telephone wiring means that signals become degraded over long distances and so speeds drop in tandem.
Fiber broadband does not suffer from the same issues. The location of your property will have less of an impact on the speed which you receive. This results in greater consistency and because the cables are buried underground, not suspended in the air, there is less chance of them being damaged by weather conditions or other elements outside of your control. Fiber broadband is the right choice if you want a connection that will be reliable as well as fast.
The raw figures tell the story: there are already fibre-optic connections offering more than 100Mbps download speeds in many areas. In the future this will increase further until 1Gbps services are not uncommon. Of course, wireless internet speeds over Wi-Fi will need to keep up with this pace if the devices and computers are going to be able to take full advantage of fiber-optic broadband. Meanwhile, fiber speeds will outdo those attainable over wide-area mobile networks, even those using 4G technologies. This is because of the fact that the user is in motion and that the signal still has to travel through the air and navigate buildings and the local topography to provide data connectivity.
Now that you can appreciate the supremacy of fibre-optic broadband when compared with other options, it is necessary to think about why you might actually need all of this extra speed. Firstly, the increasing prevalence of on-demand video services, from which you can stream movies and TV shows in high definition, means that connections are becoming more data intensive. In addition, multi-user homes now contain a number of different devices all sharing the same connection simultaneously. You might be streaming a film and using your smart phone to send an email downstairs, while someone is playing an online game upstairs. Without a fiber-optic connection, this might put a strain on your broadband and can end up making all but the simplest of tasks difficult to achieve.
The one thing which fiber-optic broadband needs to rule the telecom world of the future is investment. If you live in a heavily populated area, then it seems certain that you will eventually have fibre-optic access because it makes financial sense for the broadband providers to tap into large new markets. However, isolated locations which could benefit the most from fiber broadband will be more difficult to connect because of the very high installation costs.

G.Skill Sets Another Memory Frequency World Record, Voodoo3 Graphics Card Sits Ringside

Posted 03/02/2012 at 5:57am | by Paul Lilly 7CommentsPrint

Throwing caution to the wind and dousing his AMD processor and G.Skill Extreme RipjawsZ memory kit in liquid nitrogen, Christian Ney, the well-regarded Swiss overclocker, set a new memory frequency record as recognized by HWBot's Professional Overclockers League. The record for DDR3 memory now stands at 3,736MHz, the highest frequency every achieved, besting the previous record of 3,600MHz.

"It was a lot of fun while tweaking G.Skill memory. You can feel the unlimited potential and always want to go higher and higher," Ney said.

At 1,868MHz (3,736MHz effective), the LN2-cooled Extreme RipjawsZ ran latency timings of 11 (CAS)-13(RAS to CAS)-13(RAS Precharge)-36(tRAS). Both the memory and AMD A8 3870K processor were cooled to -197C. Other components that either aided the overclock or went along for the ride include a Gigabyte GA-A75-UD4H motherboard, 60GB OCZ Vertex 2 solid state drive, X-Series 750W power supply, and a Voodoo3 2000 PCI videocard, a once popular GPU built by 3dfx during the company's heyday.

My first Video card was a Diamond SpeedStar 64 1MB on a ISA bus lol.

That thing was a BEAST.....for playing Duke Nukem 3D.

I remember the Voodoo line though, Canopus' Pure3D was the best of the Voodoo 1 boards.

Wow, Voodoo...blast form the past. My second video card (after the TNT2) was the Voodoo 5500, in my equally badass Athlon 1Ghz Thunderbird proc :))

I've been a Corsair fan for years, but in my April build I'm jumping on G.skill (Sniper 2133 16gb kit) for the first time. I just can't overlook the price for performance ratio.

I'd like to see the data transfer rates at that clock speed. Clock cycles is one thing, actual data transfer is another. Even at stock clocks and ~20GB/s I can't imagine much being bottlenecked to justify these clock speeds other than 'I did it because it was there"

I guess you don't need to run much when you are oc'ing like that, just your BIOS (and intergrated GFX isn't really an option).

Yeah, but, like, how many BF3 knife kills does this dude have?
