# Internet Speeds 200x Faster Than Broadband By Alex Covert | Published 2007-11-08 | World Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/internet-speeds-x200-faster-than-broadband References: [gizmag](http://www.gizmag.com/go/8240/) Dr John Papandriopoulos, an Australian PhD student, has developed the technology to produce [internet speeds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/speedtest-pulse) up to 200 times faster than broadband. The amazing part is that it doesn't require a [fiber optic network](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hollow-core-fiber) to make it happen. It will work over existing [copper phone lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comcast-xfinity-low-latency). Without getting into the rocket-science aspect of how it works, I'll just say that John's device revolves around anti-interference from your neighbors' phone calls. Look for it to go mainstream in about 3-4 years. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.5/10 - Popularity: 43% | Activity: 54% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [World](https://www.trendhunter.com/world) > [World News](https://www.trendhunter.com/worldnews) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Faster Internet Speeds:** The development of technology that produces internet speeds up to 200 times faster than broadband presents disruptive innovation opportunities for telecom companies to offer high-speed internet services to customers. - **Copper Phone Line Technology:** The breakthrough in using existing copper phone lines for high-speed internet instead of fiber optic networks creates disruptive innovation opportunities for internet service providers to expand their coverage and offer faster connections to customers. - **Anti-interference Technology:** The invention of anti-interference technology for internet connections paves the way for disruptive innovation opportunities for tech companies to improve the reliability and performance of internet services, especially in areas with high phone call traffic. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Telecom:** The telecom industry can benefit from the disruptive innovation opportunities presented by the development of technology for faster internet speeds, enabling them to offer competitive high-speed internet services to customers. - **Internet Service Providers:** Internet service providers have the potential to seize disruptive innovation opportunities by leveraging the breakthrough in using existing copper phone lines for high-speed internet, expanding their coverage and providing faster connections to a wider customer base. - **Tech:** The tech industry can leverage the disruptive innovation opportunities offered by the invention of anti-interference technology for internet connections to improve the reliability and performance of internet services, opening up new possibilities for technological advancements. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Ultra-Speedy Internet Packages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sky-broadband-gigafast.md) - [Ultra-Fast Network Service Bundles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frontier-communications.md) - [Ultra-Efficient Fiber Internet Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fiber-internet-service.md) - [Telecom Connectivity Speed Boosts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comcast-xfinity-speed.md) - [High-Speed Wi-Fi Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lumen-technologies.md) - [Breakneck Wireless Connection Technologies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/connection-technology.md) - [Next-Generation Internet Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comcast-10g.md) - [Ultra-Fast USB4 Technology](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/usb4.md) - [Hyper-Fast Home Cable Modems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/netgear-cm3000-nighthawk.md)
