This country has the world's fastest internet speed, and many movies can be downloaded in just a few seconds.

Fastest Internet Speed: Imagine if you could download the entire Netflix library in the time it takes to open the app, This is no joke, but the real picture of the internet technology that has recently emerged in Japan.

Fastest Internet Speed: Imagine if you can download the entire Netflix library in the time it takes to open the app, this is no joke but the real picture of the internet technology that has recently emerged in Japan.

In June 2025, Japan's National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) broke the record for the world's fastest internet speed. They transmitted data at a speed of 1.02 petabytes per second, that is, more than 1 million gigabits per second.

But what does this speed mean for us? Let's understand.

Download all video games in 1 second

The total size of all the games on Steam is about 1.2 petabytes. With this new speed, you can download all the games from Baldur’s Gate 3 to Counter-Strike 2 in your system in just a few seconds.

Stream 10 million 8K videos simultaneously

At this high speed, you can stream 1 crore 8K videos simultaneously. That means, if the entire population of New York and Tokyo are made to watch different movies, the speed will still be saved.

The music library of the entire human civilization in one go

According to Spotify, a one-minute song is approximately 1MB. According to this, you can download 67 million songs, i.e., music of about 1,27,500 years, in one second.

Save Wikipedia 10,000 times

The English Wikipedia is approximately 100GB. At this speed of Japan, you can download it 10,000 times in a second. Even if we talk about all languages, a lot of speed will still be saved.

AI and global data sharing will get a new dimension

The real magic of this record breaking internet will be seen when data centers, AI systems and cloud services built in every corner of the world can be connected together in real-time. This speed can prove to be a strong foundation for the next generation autonomous technology and 6G networks.

How did Japan do this miracle?

NICT did not bring any new technology, but used the same fiber optic cables that are running all over the world today. The only difference was that they used four cores and more than 50 wavelengths and maintained this speed up to a distance of 51.7 kilometers, which means that this technology can work perfectly in the real world as well.

Will this internet come to our homes?

Not yet, at present the internet speed coming to our homes has not even reached terabit. But this achievement of Japan can become the foundation stone of the future for undersea cables, national broadband and 6G networks.
