Surfshark has announced a major network upgrade: the launch of 100Gbps VPN servers, with the first deployment live in Amsterdam, Netherlands. It’s a 10x jump in capacity over the common 10Gbps standard and is aimed at handling modern high-bandwidth use, such as 4K/8K streaming, large OS/game downloads, and busy peak-time traffic.
Most VPN bottlenecks happen when server capacity and concurrent usage collide. By increasing server throughput from 10Gbps to 100Gbps, Surfshark can keep speeds closer to your ISP line rate even when lots of users are streaming, gaming, or downloading updates at the same time and retain its position as one of the best VPN services.
Expect steadier pings in games, fewer buffering events in video calls, and smoother high-resolution streaming.
Benefits of 100Gbps VPN Servers
Streaming and VR: More reliable 4K/8K and 360° playback, plus enough bandwidth for emerging VR use cases.
Gaming and meetings: Lower latency while gaming and fewer hiccups during peak hours.
Household sharing: Multiple heavy tasks (e.g., a large OS download + simultaneous 4K stream) can co-exist with less contention.
If you routinely move large files, sync cloud backups, or run remote workflows, higher server throughput can reduce “shared-server” slowdowns and maintain consistent transfer rates.
Businesses using Surfshark for remote staff should also see more predictable performance during overlapping work windows.
Where and when can you use 100Gbps?
As of October 7, 2025, Surfshark says the first 100Gbps servers are live in Amsterdam and are currently in a testing phase “with a few servers,” with the upgrade establishing “the foundation for potential future rollouts.”
In other words, availability should increase over time as testing is completed and capacity is added in more regions.
How to get the Benefits of the upgrade now
Select a nearby 100Gbps location when available (starting with Amsterdam). Proximity still matters for latency.
Use a fast protocol (e.g., WireGuard or any high-speed option recommended by Surfshark) to minimize overhead.
Test during your personal peak hours to feel the difference when servers are typically busiest.
The Xiaomi 17 Series refines Xiaomi’s flagship series with faster silicon, longer battery life, smarter software, and bold design twists. The standard Xiaomi 17 doubles down on compact ergonomics without compromising endurance, while the 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max introduce a novel Dynamic Back Display that serves as a selfie viewfinder, widget space, and notification pane.
Across the lineup, you’ll find Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, HyperOS 3 (Android 16) with new on-device AI experiences, Leica-tuned imaging, and brighter LTPO AMOLED screens with 120Hz refresh rate. Xiaomi launched the series in China on September 25, 2025, becoming the first phones announced with Qualcomm’s new flagship chip. Global launch is still being anticipated.
Compared to the Xiaomi 15 family, expect larger batteries, upgraded cameras, and significant performance improvements that better serve creators, gamers, and everyday users alike.
Xiaomi 17
The Xiaomi 17 is the compact flagship of the lineup, pairing a 6.3-inch LTPO AMOLED display with 120Hz refresh and a claimed 3,500-nit peak brightness for reliable outdoor visibility.
Power comes from Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, which boosts CPU/GPU performance while improving efficiency in demanding games and multitasking. A sizeable 7,000mAh silicon-carbon battery headlines endurance, supported by 100W wired, 50W wireless, and reverse wireless charging.
Photography leans on Leica tuning with a 50MP main sensor, a fast 60mm telephoto for crisp portraits, and multi-frame Night modes; the front camera remains sharp for 4K vloggers.
Other touches include UFS 4.1 storage up to 512GB, stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, NFC, and HyperOS 3 based on Android 16, packing new AI features for writing, translation, and image tools.
Despite the battery bump, the phone stays light and pocket-friendly, making it an attractive everyday flagship for one-handed use.
Xiaomi 17 Pro
Xiaomi 17 Pro builds on the base model with a more advanced camera array and a clever second screen on the back. The “Dynamic Back Display,” measuring approximately 2.7 inches, serves as a selfie viewfinder, notification ticker, and always-on widget space, and doubles as a camera control surface for vlogs.
The Leica-tuned triple camera setup centers on a 50-megapixel main sensor, accompanied by an ultrawide and a stabilized telephoto lens capable of 5x optical zoom shots. At the same time, Xiaomi’s tone-faithful Leica color modes and Night modes remain.
The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 handles heavy lifting, paired with up to 1TB of storage and ample RAM, making it ideal for creators. The 6.3-inch LTPO AMOLED panel returns with an adaptable 1–120Hz refresh rate, while audio comes from dual speakers with spatial effects.
HyperOS 3 layers in on-device AI tools, cross-device continuity, and upgraded privacy controls. A battery, fast wired/wireless charging, and premium materials round out a flagship aimed at photographers and power users.
Xiaomi 17 Pro Max
The Xiaomi 17 Pro Max is the series heavyweight: a 6.9-inch LTPO AMOLED canvas at 120Hz refresh rate with Xiaomi Shield Glass 3.0 protection and a peak brightness that rivals leading flagships.
On the back sits a 2.9-inch Dynamic Back Display for at-a-glance info, selfie previews, and customizable widgets.
Inside, Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 teams with up to 1TB UFS 4.1 storage to drive console-level games and creator apps.
The Leica-co-engineered camera stack upgrades to a 5x periscope telephoto with improved low-light aperture, delivering sharper zoom and smoother background separation, while the main 50-megapixel sensor captures detail and natural color.
A massive 7,500mAh battery keeps the larger display powered through long days, supported by 100W wired and 50W wireless charging, as well as reverse wireless charging for accessories.
Stereo speakers, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, NFC, and haptics complete an ultra-premium device designed for power users who seek maximum screen, camera flexibility, and endurance.
HyperOS 3 and AI Upgrades
All three models ship with Android 16 with HyperOS 3 UI skin, which brings smoother animations, a refreshed interface, and on-device AI features for text generation, summarization, translation, and context-aware tools inside Xiaomi apps.
Cross-device continuity lets you pick up tasks on tablets and laptops, while upgraded privacy controls keep more processing local. Performance optimizations and new UI (like richer widgets and lock-screen styles) aim to reduce lag and improve battery life.
Xiaomi has announced a broader HyperOS 3 rollout for older devices, but the 17-series gets the best experience out of the box.
Pricing and Availability
Xiaomi launched the 17-series in China on September 25, 2025. Early pricing guidance suggests that the Xiaomi 17 Pro will be priced around ¥4,999 (~$700), and the 17 Pro Max will be priced at ¥5,999 (~$840), depending on the RAM and storage configuration; models with 1TB of storage will be more expensive.
A global release typically follows months later; current reporting suggests a global release may occur in 2026, with uncertainty surrounding which Pro variants will be released outside of China.
If you are outside China, expect gray-market imports first, then official units after Xiaomi’s global reveal. Keep an eye on local bands/firmware support if you choose to import.
Xiaomi 17 vs Xiaomi 15 Series: What’s Improved?
Three headline upgrades define the generational leap. First, Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 delivers higher performance per watt than last year’s chip in the Xiaomi 15 line (the Xiaomi 15, the Xiaomi 15 Pro, and the Xiaomi 15 Ultra), improving gaming frame stability and AI tasks.
Second, the battery capacities are significantly larger, ranging from 7,000 to 7,500mAh on select models, paired with 100W/50W fast charging for quicker top-ups.
Third, Dynamic Back Display debuts on the Pro models, enabling new camera use cases, richer notifications, and creative workflows. Add the brighter LTPO screens and Leica-tuned optics, and the 17 family is a clear step up for creators and power users.
Which Model Should You Buy?
Xiaomi 17: Best for one-handed comfort, long battery life, and a balanced price-to-performance ratio.
Xiaomi 17 Pro: Choose this if you shoot portraits and video often and want the rear screen’s framing tricks without the size of the Max.
Xiaomi 17 Pro Max: Go big if you want the largest display, longest endurance, and the most versatile zoom system.
If you currently own a Xiaomi 15-series device, the leap is most compelling for mobile photographers, gamers, and anyone who values battery longevity or the new AI features in HyperOS 3.

Compliance: Designed to align with the GENIUS Act
Technology: Built on Hadron by Tether real-world-asset tokenization
Partners: Anchorage Digital (GENIUS Act-compliant issuer) and Cantor Fitzgerald (designated reserve custodian, preferred primary dealer)
Scale: Tether’s USDT exceeds $169B market cap and serves nearly 500M users, with daily volumes surpassing leading payments firms
Financial Strength: Tether Group earned >$13B in 2024 and ranks 18th among U.S. Treasury holders
Tether, the largest company in the digital asset ecosystem, today announced USA₮, its planned U.S.-regulated, dollar-backed stablecoin, and the appointment of Bo Hines as Tether USA₮’s future Chief Executive Officer.
Introducing both the token and its incoming CEO underscores Tether’s commitment to transparent reserves, strong governance, and U.S. leadership from day one.
As the world’s most widely used stablecoin, USDT has become core infrastructure for the digital asset economy, with a market capitalization exceeding $169B and daily transactional volumes that outpace even top credit card and remittance providers.
Recognized as a digital dollar for emerging markets and developing economies, USDT now reaches nearly 500 million users, with a focus on underbanked and unbanked communities historically priced out by high legacy-finance fees.
Tether Group’s scale and performance reinforce this leadership. The company generated more than $13B in 2024 and remains on track for continued profitability in 2025. Tether is also among the largest holders of U.S. Treasuries, ranking 18th—above Germany, South Korea, and Australia—a position that underpins the global adoption of USDT.
USAT is being established as a U.S.-regulated stablecoin built to provide businesses and institutions with a digital alternative to cash and traditional payment rails. With transparent reserves and strict regulatory standards, USA₮ is designed to set a new benchmark for compliance and accessibility across the U.S. stablecoin market.
As part of that commitment, USA₮ will be designed to comply with the recently enacted GENIUS Act, the landmark U.S. framework for stablecoin issuance—bringing digital asset innovation in step with America’s leadership in financial regulation.
USAT will leverage Hadron by Tether, the company’s advanced real-world-asset tokenization platform. Anchorage Digital, the first and only federally regulated crypto bank, will serve as the GENIUS Act-compliant issuer.
Cantor Fitzgerald will act as the designated reserve custodian and preferred primary dealer. Combined with Tether Group’s global distribution network, these partnerships position USA₮ to launch fully regulated digital dollars.
The introduction of USAT and the appointment of Bo Hines as future CEO represent the next step in Tether’s mission: reinforcing U.S. dollar dominance in the digital era while upholding transparency, compliance, and financial resilience.
Bo Hines brings a distinctive blend of legal, business, and policy expertise to USA₮. An entrepreneur and former Executive Director of the White House Crypto Council, Hines has operated at the intersection of governance, law, and financial innovation—reflecting Tether’s intent to launch USA₮ under U.S.-based leadership aligned with American regulatory priorities.
“For over a decade, Tether – as the creator of the stablecoin industry – has issued USD₮, the backbone of the digital economy, and today the U.S dollar stablecoin for hundreds of millions of underserved people living in emerging markets, proving that digital assets can deliver trust, resilience, and freedom on a global scale. Today, with the introduction of USA₮ and Bo Hines’s appointment as future CEO of Tether USA₮, we are taking the next natural step, bringing that same strength to the U.S. under a world-leading U.S.-regulatory framework,”
said Paolo Ardoino, CEO of Tether.
“Tether is already one of the largest holders of U.S. Treasuries because we believe deeply in the enduring power of the dollar. USAT is our commitment to ensuring that the dollar not only remains dominant in the digital age, but thrives – through products that are more transparent, more resilient, more accessible, and more unstoppable than ever before.”
“I am honored to lead USA₮ as we prepare for its launch, creating a U.S.-regulated dollar-backed stablecoin designed to strengthen America’s role in the global economy,”
said Bo Hines, CEO-Designate of Tether USA₮.
“By building USA₮ with compliance, transparency, and innovation at its core, we are ensuring that the dollar remains the foundation of trust in the digital asset space.”
Why It Matters
Regulatory clarity: USAT is designed around the GENIUS Act, signaling a regulatory-first approach.
Institutional readiness: Infrastructure, partners, and governance target enterprise-grade requirements.
Dollar resilience: Aligns the U.S. dollar with the next phase of digital finance.
Tether operates the world’s most widely adopted stablecoin technology, connecting traditional finance with digital asset markets through transparency, governance, and liquidity at scale. Its flagship token, USDT, serves hundreds of millions of users and businesses worldwide across multiple blockchain networks.
How does a Nigerian startup become a global household name? It’s a question that dominates conversations in Africa’s most dynamic tech ecosystem. Speaking at the GITEX Nigeria conference, Babs Ogundeyi, Founder and Group CEO of Kuda, moved beyond the usual talk of funding and user growth to outline a clear, three-part philosophy for building an enduring, international company from Nigeria.
His vision, distilled from years of operating in both Lagos and London, offers a strategic playbook for the next generation of founders. Here are his three core rules for globalising Nigerian fintech.
1. Treat trust as your biggest investment
While the fintech industry often obsesses over technology, Ogundeyi argues that the real currency in a market like Nigeria is trust. He believes the primary challenge is overcoming the inherent scepticism of a “faceless” digital service, especially when it involves people’s money. The solution is not a bigger marketing budget, but a deep, foundational investment in reliability.
“It’s really important to invest in trust as a brand. That’s probably our [Kuda’s] biggest investment,”
Ogundeyi stated.
This means prioritising consistency, transparent communication, and relentless customer education above all else. In his view, the first wave of fintech was a tech race. The next is a trust race, and the winners will be those who have painstakingly built an unbreakable reputation.
2. Build a ‘London-Lagos’ bridge for credibility
To scale globally, African startups need a playbook that addresses the realities of international capital. For Ogundeyi, this means building a strategic bridge to a globally recognised financial hub like London. This “dual-citizenship” strategy isn’t about leaving Nigeria, but about leveraging the UK’s regulatory and financial credibility to de-risk the venture for global partners.
“Most of our investors are European, and they prefer to invest directly into the UK,”
he explained.
By anchoring the company’s governance and capital structure in a market with a strict, well-understood framework, founders can solve one of their biggest hurdles. This allows them to access the capital and talent needed to compete on the global stage while keeping their product engine firmly focused on the African market.
3. Export ‘Afro-tech’ like Afrobeats
What is the goal? According to Ogundeyi, it looks a lot like the global music charts. He drew a powerful analogy between the rise of Nigerian tech and the explosion of Afrobeats, arguing that technology is Nigeria’s next great cultural export.
“We’ve been able to export our culture to a large extent. We’ve seen it in the music,”
he said.
The vision is for Nigerian fintech to become a household name not by imitating Silicon Valley, but by being unapologetically authentic, exporting its unique solutions, grit, and understanding of complex markets to the world. As Nigerian firms begin acquiring UK companies, Ogundeyi is confident that this cultural and economic export is already well underway.
In a move signaling bold ambition and transformation, Nigeria’s fourth-largest telecommunications operator, 9mobile, officially unveiled its new identity, T2, at a high-profile event in Lagos on August 8, 2025. Dubbed “Tech Meets Tenacity,” the launch ceremony, attended by Nigeria’s Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Dr. Bosun Tijani, marks what CEO Obafemi Banigbe describes as “the beginning of a whole new chapter” for the telecom provider, representing a profound shift beyond mere aesthetics toward becoming a digital-first technology enabler.
Banigbe stated T2’s mission to transcend traditional telecom services:
“We are becoming something greater, more ambitious, and more in tune with the future… a platform for possibilities, a connector of dreams, and a catalyst for the startup ecosystem, for creatives, for remote workers”
This dramatic shift follows a period of turbulence for the operator, which has navigated ownership changes, financial distress, and subscriber losses since its days as Etisalat Nigeria.
2008-2017 (Etisalat Era): Launched as a joint venture between UAE’s Etisalat Group and Nigerian investors, the company rapidly grew to serve over 22 million subscribers by pioneering 3G/4G LTE services and youth-focused marketing.
2017 Crisis: Crushed under $1.2 billion debt, Etisalat exited Nigeria, forcing a rebrand to 9mobile and ownership restructuring, with Teleology Holdings acquiring control in 2018.
The Struggle: Infrastructure degradation and service challenges saw active subscribers plummet to just 3.2 million by early 2025, a stark decline from its peak.
The Pivot Point: The 2024 acquisition of a 95.5% stake by LH Telecommunication Limited set the stage for this transformation, culminating in the T2 rebirth.

The T2 Strategic Vision: More Than Connectivity
Banigbe emphasized that T2 represents a fundamental operational and philosophical overhaul centered on three pillars:
Customer Obsession: “Customer experience will no longer be a department; it becomes the business,” declared Banigbe, promising real-time support, self-service tools, and simplified digital processes.
Digital-First Infrastructure: T2 is transitioning into a “cloud-native, API-ready, and data-driven operator,” leveraging artificial intelligence and advanced analytics to deliver personalized products and accelerate service deployment.
Crucially, T2’s rebirth is backed by concrete operational partnerships. A landmark three-year national roaming agreement with MTN Nigeria, approved by the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) in July 2025, enables T2 customers to access MTN’s extensive network nationwide.
This deal directly addresses T2’s historically limited coverage, particularly in underserved regions, providing immediate service quality improvements while the company rebuilds its own infrastructure. This collaboration reflects a broader industry trend toward resource-sharing amid Nigeria’s competitive telecom landscape.
Challenges: The Uphill Battle
Despite the optimism, industry analysts and customers urge caution:
Subscriber Trust: Years of network instability have eroded user confidence, resulting in a decline from an all-time high of 22 million to just 3.5 million subscribers. T2 will have its work cut out for it on building customer trust.
Market Dynamics: Competing against MTN, Airtel, and Glo, which dominate pricing and coverage, T2 must balance quality and affordability to remain it momentum in the market.
Targeted Segmentation: Experts argue that T2 cannot simultaneously chase mass market and niche digital segments. Success requires precise customer segmentation, with a possible initial focus on startups, SMEs, and tech-savvy urban users.
Opportunities: The Digital Advantage
T2’s digital-native approach could become its competitive edge:
Agile Service Rollout: Cloud infrastructure enables faster deployment of tailored packages for specific user groups (e.g., data bundles for streaming creators or low-latency plans for remote developers).
Cost Efficiency: Reduced physical infrastructure dependence, augmented by the MTN roaming pact, could lower operational expenses, enabling competitive pricing.
Emotional Resonance: Banigbe’s messaging ties T2’s resilience to Nigeria’s own tenacity: “We have endured… but like Nigeria, we always bounce back stronger.” This narrative could resonate culturally if the quality of service improves.

The Road Ahead
T2 enters Nigeria’s telecom arena with a clear message: “We are not playing catch-up. We are playing to win,” declares the CEO.
For Nigeria’s digital economy, T2’s metamorphosis represents more than a corporate rebrand. If successful, it could validate a new telecom model—one prioritizing agility, ecosystem partnerships, and digital specialization over scale alone.
As Banigbe dedicated this rebrand “to every Nigerian dreaming of something better,” T2’s ultimate test will be turning its scars of resilience into tangible value for a nation hungry for connectivity that empowers. The orange dawn has broken; now comes the hard work of delivery.
