Swedish Grandmother Has the Fastest Internet Connection in the World

From CrunchGear
Although likely 39.99999 Gigabits more than she actually needs, Sigbritt Löthberg now has a 40 Gbps internet connection. She’s never owned a computer until now but she did give birth to some famous Swedish internet guy.

How fast is the connection? She can download a full high definition DVD in two seconds. That would take many, many, many seconds (minutes or hours, even) over your typical broadband connection. And get this – her house is over 1200 miles away from the connection’s original source.

In comparison, most of us with DSL have 1.5Mbps. She gets 40,000 Mbps.

    @suzie: She pays nothing, it was a gift from her son.

    Considering her son is “some famous Swedish internet” guy I would imagine she has it for free ;)
