"A 75-year-old woman from Karlstad in central Sweden has been thrust into the IT history books - with the world's fastest internet connection," The Local reports.
"Sigbritt Löthberg's home has been supplied with a blistering 40 Gigabits per second connection, many thousands of times faster than the average residential link and the first time ever that a home user has experienced such a high speed," The Local reports. "But Sigbritt, who had never had a computer until now, is no ordinary 75 year old. She is the mother of Swedish internet legend Peter Löthberg who, along with Karlstad Stadsnät, the local council's network arm, has arranged the connection."
"'This is more than just a demonstration,' said network boss Hafsteinn Jonsson. 'As a network owner we're trying to persuade internet operators to invest in faster connections.'"
