STOCKHOLM, Sweden (AP) - She is a latecomer to the information superhighway, but 75-year-old Sigbritt Lothberg is now cruising the Internet with a dizzying speed. 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.

In less than 2 seconds, Lothberg can download a full-length movie on her home computer - many thousand times faster than most residential connections, said Hafsteinn Jonsson, head of the Karlstad city network unit.

Jonsson and Lothberg's son, Peter, worked together to install the connection.

The speed is reached using a new modulation technique that allows the sending of data between two routers placed up to 1,240 miles apart, without any transponders in between, Jonsson said.

"We wanted to show that that there are no limitations to Internet speed," he said.

Peter Lothberg, who is a networking expert, said he wanted to demonstrate the new technology while providing a computer link for his mother.

"She's a brand-new Internet user," Lothberg said by phone from California, where he lives. "She didn't even have a computer before."

His mother isn't exactly making the most of her high-speed connection. She only uses it to read Web-based newspapers.

I honestly wouldn't know what to do with that much speed. Host a PW, I guess.

Can you imagine what the military actually has speed wise? I know that here in IL that Scott Airforce Base is a command center for operations and it has a massive network. I would love to use their system just once!

btw I like how installing windows on the womans PC was the hardest thing in setting all this up

I'd use it to download all the music on the Internet and then call the RIAA and tell them to bite me.

Or host a pay for porn site, if you're so inclined.

Actually, I know exactly what I'd do. I'd start running online University classes.
