Dr. John Papandriopoulos, an Australian PhD student, has developed the technology to produce internet speeds up to 200 times faster than broadband. The amazing part is that it doesn’t require a fiber optic network to make it happen. It will work over existing copper phone lines.
The system uses new algorithms to reduce the effect that cross chatter has on internet streams that share the same physical copper telephone line.
Using his new algorithm, Dr. John Papandriopoulos says existing telecoms infrastructure could serve broadband speeds of up to 250Mbps. The majority of ADSL customers in the UK get less than 8Mbps.
Using these dramatically increased download speeds, internet users would be able to download data at a rate of around 30MB every second. To put this in perspective, you could download a DVD movie in less than three minutes.
Without getting into the rocket-science aspect of how it works, I’ll just say that John’s device revolves around anti-interference from your neighbors’ phone calls. Look for it to go mainstream in about 3-4 years.
Papandriopoulos also told Image and Data Manager Online, "People have been trying to push up the speeds of broadband to as fast as possible by pushing the actual bandwidth limits. The underlying problem is really one of interference, in effect your neighbor is interfering with your speed".
Reportedly, the anti-interference technology could be installed directly into existing modems as a software upgrade or be shipped in new modems and would also require installation at the telephone exchange end.via
