I was trying to budget an OSP fiber project and got frustrated with how simplistic or expensive most estimators are. Relying on a single "cost-per-foot" average just isn't accurate.
So, I built an open-source estimator in #Flutter to do it right. It uses a bottom-up approach and models the important variables:
- Dig costs broken down by surface type
- Conditional restoration costs
- A power-law model for cable pricing

While you don’t need a petabit internet connection to binge Netflix, you might need one to power the future and 🇯🇵 Japan’s NICT just set a new internet speed record: 1.02 petabits per second over 1,800 kilometers using a 19-core optical fiber. That’s 4 million times faster than typical home broadband. That's just a preview of the infrastructure we’ll need as AI, IoT, and data-hungry systems scale globally.
TL;DR
🚀 1.02 Pb/s achieved over 1,800 km
📡 19-core fiber with common cladding
🔁 Signal looped 21× to test range
🌐 Needed for next-gen internet backbone
