China has launched the world’s first commercial 10-Gigabit (10G) broadband network in Sunan County, Hebei Province, with a significant deployment in Xiong’an New Area, a high-tech city being developed as a smart metropolis. The initiative, a collaboration between Huawei and state-owned China Unicom, went live on 20 April 2025.
I’ve been able to get 8GBps fibre home internet for the last 5 years in rural Canada. I doubt this is the first 10GBps commercial broadband network.
This is cellular though
I’m paying 160$cad for 300mbps, regular GPON service in rural :(
Fibre access is not evenly distributed, some places only have satellite access as an option. Meanwhile Rogers just ran fibre down our road so now we have the option to use Bell or Rogers.
