Japan breaks internet speed record with mind-blowing 1.02 petabits per second - Dexerto
A new internet speed record has been set, and it’s fast enough to download massive games like Warzone in less time than it takes to blink.

The record was set by Japan's National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) and Sumitomo Electric, who announced the achievement in late May 2025. But how fast is .02 petabits per second, I hear you cry? Well, as Seasia pointed out, you could download the entire Netflix library in under a second.
With speeds this fast, you'd also be able to download meaty 150 GB games like Warzone in the blink of an eye – something most of us could only dream of. Having to wait patiently for hefty updates and launch day installations would instantly be a thing of the past, but how exactly was such speed achieved?
