Can a residential address theoritically get oc-192 (oc-768 etc.) internet access???

Question

Many huge websites use an optical carrier that such as oc-192, and even oc-768. Is it theoretically possible to get download speeds at 10 gbps (I would put 40 gbps but I know that the website(s) you are downloading from would have to have a high enough upload speed to support it. What I mean is, could one residential internet user access even half the bandwidth of a oc-192, or would the modem (max-out).

I understand this is a poorly phrased and complicated question but I would appreciate an honest answer; not some rude remark you make just to get two points.

Thank you for answering.

Answer 1

Verizon wireless has an isp called FIOS which is a fiber to the home solution that offers much better speeds than cable or dsl for a nice price. Now, it isn't a super high bandwidth oc-192,etc. line, but it is still very good. You may look into that.

Answer 2

with enough money and the right hardware and knowing the right people I bet it would be possible

Answer 3

Well, for one you would need the Fiber Optic cabling to run right into an Optic network card in your computer to be able to handle that, and your service provider would also need to support the providing of such bandwidth. Once you have those things, then yes, you could have that kind of speed.

Although I do not know of any Service Providers that will give you that much bandwidth, nor would I recommend getting the FO cable and Optic network card as they are ridiculously priced and only commercially available as far as I knew.
