# ⚡ Complete Surprise: China has launched the world's first commercial 10G internet network
These figures seem like science fiction: download speeds of up to 9,834 Mbps, upload speeds exceeding 1,000 Mbps, and just 3 milliseconds of minimum latency. Huawei and China Unicom made this a reality on April 20, 2025, using 50G-PON technology, revolutionizing fiber optic transmission.
## ⚡ In Simple Words:
- A 20GB 4K movie downloads in less than 20 seconds (compared to 7-10 minutes on a 1Gb connection)
- A 90GB 8K movie downloads in 72 seconds
- Updating video games over 100GB is no longer a dream: ready in just a few minutes
## 🏙️ Where It's Available:
Currently, it's operational in Xiong'an (the "city of the future" 112 kilometers from Beijing) and in Xinan, Hebei. Xiong'an is literally a futuristic empty city built from scratch featuring facial recognition systems on streetlights, an intelligent waste management system, and a "15-minute city" where everything is within walking distance.
## What Doors Does This Technology Open:
- Lag-free cloud gaming
- Real-time medicine (including remote surgery)
