The firm says the feat was achieved by working with Alcatel Lucent to create new technologies which were installed in its terminal stations at either end of the fibre.
Much of the speed gain was delivered through improvements to the software used for forward error correction - a technique that encodes and then decodes the data, allowing a limited amount of corrupted bits to be corrected without the need for the information to be resent.
"You can imagine it as squeezing and tilting the entire set-up around to get more capacity out," Deutsche Telekom's T-Labs manager Heinrich Arnold told the BBC.
"It means improvements can be carried out without digging up the existing fibre, without massive hardware replacement - that's actually the charm of the thing.
Software alone!
