Japan Sets World’s Fastest Fiber Internet Speed at 319 Tbps

Japan Sets World’s Fastest Fiber Internet Speed at 319 Tbps

Hello my fellow netizens, I’m moving to Japan.

If you are ever unsatisfied with your internet speed here in our country then you are not alone and to add a nail to our agony, Japan had just broken the world record for the fastest internet speed.

Researchers in Japan’s National Institute of Information and Communications Technology demonstrated an internet speed of 319 Terabits (TBs) per second, setting a new world record as the fastest internet speed in the world.

It’s like a fast and furious internet speed multiply a million times. If you can’t imagine the snap that is this speed then let me help you better understand.

This speed is about 6 million times faster than the Philippines’s fastest internet speed which is only 47.52 Mbps by Smart Communications.
In theory, you can download 57,000 full-length movies in a second.
You can download the entire Spotify library in less than 3 seconds.
It broke the previous record of 178 Tbps that was set by Japan and Britain in 2020.

The test in Japan was completed in a lab where they used advanced fiber-optic technology with a 4-core optical fiber of standard outer diameter of 0.123 mm for the test.

Instead of typical fiber broadband cables that has only one core which carries the data at breakneck speeds, surrounded by a lot of insulation, they used an experimental cable that used four cores. It is what they believed is the most crucial part in their breakthrough which may help push higher data throughputs leading to faster internet speeds in the future.

They further used rare earth mineral amplifiers to sustain the data at this speed for a prolonged, simulated distance of about 3000km.

Though this internet speed is unbelievably fast, I don’t think we will be using these in our own homes, as with just our present fiber services we can already stream cat videos and music videos on YouTube, and any other social media content at high resolutions, without any buffering.

And as the researchers have stated that they can see this technology being used in areas such as terrestrial space exploration data exchanges, outer space activities that would increase the efficiency of missions.

One positive thing about this study though is it can be a basis to upgrade existing models of data transmission and support the speeds claimed by 5G, which is not available everywhere yet.

Bukilat Cave: Camotes Island’s Enchanting Cave to Dip In

Camotes Island has become popular recently due to its rising attractions that had been hidden from the public’s eye for years.

Now, people are turning their heads in amazement of the place.

One of the island’s wonders that contributed to its rise to fame is Bukilat Cave, an enchanting cave with cold and pure waters one can swim in.

Located in Tudela of Camotes Island, it is part of the eight natural caves that formed there. Many rumors and legends have already surfaced about the cave. Some say it even holds treasure!

In actual history, during World War II, many of the residents used the cave as a shelter to hide from the Japanese army.

Stalactites and stalagmites decorate the cave, indicating that it is indeed old. In the middle of the cave, light shines from the top during the day illuminating the insides. The water shows a bright reflection inviting you to take a dip. How deep the water is depends on the time whether it is high tide or low tide. Be sure to bring with you extra clothes!

Since this is treated like a treasure, the local officials want to keep the place as pristine as possible. Thus, there are restrictions in what you can do. For example, you cannot eat, drink, or smoke in here. Because of these restrictions, the cave stays beautiful for tourists to see.

#Viral: Ex-Lovers met again due to Curfew Violations in Cebu

A love story that is supposed to have ended might just be rekindled.

Ex-lovers from Talisay City saw each other again after being held due to curfew violations. To what is supposed to be a night of weary, it became a night of nervousness after meeting again.

Photo from City of Talisay Police Support

As posted by the City of Talisay Police Support, here is a transcript of what happened:

“Dolor: Sir asa me dalhon?

Pulis: Jaclupan Gym

Dolor: Kalayo ba d ay sir ��

Upon arrival at the Jaclupan Gym…

Dolor: �� na shock siya..

Pulis: Nganu ka maam?

Dolor: Sir akung EX naa ge kulbaan ko ��

Pulis : Pagtapad mo kaw para mawala ng kulba nimu”

And the rest is history.

Will their violation of the curfew be a blessing in disguise for the ex-lovers? Or, will this cause another stir?

We cannot wait for another update. One thing is for sure though, we all have that one ex we would want to meet again.

Ikaw? Anong kwentong ex mo?

Cebu’s Jerika Teodorico releases new single ‘Downtown Disco’

Every Cebuano knows how it feels to have a love-hate relationship with probably Cebu City’s most iconic street—Dalan Colon.

Lucky for us, singer-songwriter Jerika Teodorico just released her newest single Downtown Disco that will make us find our way to love (or hate, if you’re a glass-half-empty kind of person) the heart of the city even more!

Downtown Disco is the love child of Jerika’s two personal songwriting goals: to write a song with the word “Downtown” in the title, and to put it to music that’s reminiscent of her all-time favorite song—Dancing Queen.

Photo from Jerika Teodorico Facebook Page

The idea was shelved for years since its conception in 2014. It was only until 2017 when Jerika chanced upon a TV commercial that featured a “disco song that reminded me so much of ABBA” but with a rhythm guitar riff that she considered she could very well play without much struggle.

Jerika describes Downtown Disco as a “collection of stories you can dance to.” While the stories don’t exactly come from her personal experience, they were very much inspired by the people and the places the songwriter used to pass by in her daily commutes to and from Colon when she was still in college.

Sonically, the 4-minute disco-folk track was meant to be a full-fledged ABBA homage, Jerika points out, but was steered into a more youthful and modern direction with the help of co-producer Anjelo Calinawan. This was achieved by incorporating reverb on the drums, bright synths, and a “barely-there” bass track that’s “equal parts Macarena and 1989-era Taylor Swift” into the arrangement.

“What makes it a truly Jerika track, though,” Calinawan remarks, “is the acoustic guitars, and the unique way she plays the instrument. That’s what sets it apart from the usual disco pop and synth-wave songs we’re used to hearing nowadays.”

Jerika played both acoustic guitars, which were recorded by Erwin Batucan in Room Eleven Recording Studio. All other instruments were recorded and programmed by Calinawan, who also mixed and mastered the track. Downtown Disco is executive produced by Jude Gitamondoc and distributed under Vispop record label Kadasig.

Downtown Disco is now available on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and other popular music streaming platforms. Follow Jerika Teodorico on Facebook, Instagram, Spotify, and subscribe to her YouTube channel for updates on other upcoming releases and her highly anticipated January 2022 debut album.
