apan has achieved a record-breaking internet speed of 1.02 petabits per second (Pbps), which equals 1 million Gbps — fast enough to download the entire Netflix library in just one second.
This speed was achieved using advanced optical fiber technology in a controlled research environment, not yet available for public or commercial use.
India’s average broadband speed is around 60–70 Mbps, and mobile data speed stands at 30–40 Mbps, which is far behind global leaders.
India’s 5G rollout is ongoing, but limited to major cities, and rural areas are still mostly dependent on 4G or lower-speed broadband.
India lacks the fiber-optic backbone and advanced data networks required to support petabit-level speeds across large areas.
Bringing such speeds to India would require massive investment in telecom infrastructure, which is currently focused on expanding 5G and fiber networks.
Experts suggest that 10 Gbps could become common in Indian cities by 2030, while 1 Pbps speeds may only be possible in data centers or research labs by 2040 or later.
Rather than focusing on Pbps speeds, India must first ensure reliable, high-speed internet for all regions, expand fiber connectivity, and make 5G affordable and accessible.
