Ziply Fiber has launched a super-fast Internet experience for the most demanding users.
In the north-western regions of the Pacific coast, it is now possible to connect the Internet at a speed of 50 Gbit / s from the provider Ziply Fiber. However, such a connection will cost $900 per month, which is significantly higher than the average cost of living in this region of the United States.
Users who want to use such high-speed Internet will have to take care of buying their own router and other network equipment that can work at such high speed. At the same time, the cost of such equipment can start from $2000.

By comparison, the average Internet speed in the US is around 250 Mbps, and only recently has 1 Gbps started to become more common. The bandwidth of 50 Gbit / s is many times higher than most end-user devices, and it is also significantly faster than the average Internet speed in the country.
Even the new Wi-Fi 7 standard, which promises 4x faster speeds than Wi-Fi 6E, will not be able to reach the maximum network bandwidth of 50 Gbps, as its limit is up to 46 Gbps in ideal conditions. In reality, it is unlikely to be possible to achieve speeds of 50 Gbit / s in modern wireless networks, and most wired networks are also unlikely to be able to use all this bandwidth without additional investment in such equipment.
Thus, the question of whether to pay attention to the Internet at a speed of 50 Gbit/s remains open. However, Ziply is determined to offer the highest home Internet speed to date in the United States.
Internet plans of this kind already make sense for large enterprises and educational institutions, where the speed of 50 Gbit / s can be distributed among dozens of users. However, it is doubtful that an ordinary family will need such a huge bandwidth, even after a decade, this level of network saturation seems excessive.
