Half a million families across all the city's 18 districts and Chongming County will have access to an Internet service 50 to 100 times faster than current speeds this year.
The technology, called 3TNET, has been tried out by 30,000 families in Changning and Jiading districts. Using the high-performance broadband network, people can access interactive services including high-quality Internet-protocol TV, remote medical and education services, and video-on-demand. At present, broadband speeds are around one or two megabytes per second, 3TNET's speed is 100Mbps or higher. 3TNET delivers information through fiber optics and requires huge investment on network upgrades, therefore it will be available in new communities first.
