Comment on Japanese Institute breaks optical fiber speed record with 22.9 petabits per second — 1,000 times faster than existing cables
It is pretty confusing that we refer to the volume of data as speed in networks.
We don’t. The measure is bits/s, which is a speed because it’s measured relative to time. 1 TB is a volume/amount, 1TB/s is a speed.
