Peter has the worlds fastest mother...

My friend Peter Löthberg called me yesterday. He was happy because he said he had the worlds fastest mother. What had happened in reality is that he had managed to get the 40G connection up and running from Karlstad to Stockholm.

Later the same day (July 10) he was on the news in Sweden.

**Updated:**This news is going around the world. It was just posted in New York Times.

Lothberg’s 40 gigabits-per-second fiber-optic connection in Karlstad is believed to be the fastest residential uplink in the world, Karlstad city officials said.
