Researchers in the UK have reportedly created the fastest-ever internet connection.
In fact, it is said to be so fast that it can enable the entire Netflix library to be downloaded in just one second.

This speed is double the capacity of any system currently used in the world, and a fifth faster than the previous record. It is also getting close to the theoretical limit of data transmission, first proposed by US mathematician Claude Shannon in 1949.
