The network can download a 20GB file in under 20 seconds, a leap in home internet speeds.
China has launched the world’s first commercial 10-Gigabit (10G) broadband network in Sunan County, Hebei Province, with a significant deployment in Xiong’an New Area, a high-tech city being developed as a smart metropolis. The initiative, a collaboration between Huawei and state-owned China Unicom, went live on 20 April 2025.
Past year? Iint7 (Switzerland) has been offering symmetric 10Gb to home users for almost a decade and their flagship home package has been 25Gbps for a few years now. Multiple ISPs in the UK have offered symmetric 10Gb for 6-7 years, ditto some American and Singaporean ISPs. I’ve had 10Gb on tap for years now. Funny how this clickbait untruthful article also slips in that the product isn’t even symmetric, having a 10:1 down/up ratio. The 10Gb from my own ISP is being upgraded to symmetric 50Gbps later this year.
