Japan breaks world record for fastest internet speed

That’s insane. I don’t think my computer can transfer 319 MB/s.

Google, Microsoft, Amazon and Facebook stored about 1.2 million terabytes of data in 2019. With this speed you could download all of this data in about 8 hours.

Assuming you have a standard gigE port, it can't.

To be pedantic: it might be able to transfer 319 MB/s (with a gigabit port), but almost certainly not 319 GB/s, let alone 319 TB/s.

A 1 Gbps ethernet port has a transfer rate of 125 MB/s. With protocol overhead you would see peak bandwidth measured at around 110 MB/s.
