At Japan, NTT East and NTT West (Nippon Telegraph And Telephone) have increased Internet connection speeds for their home customers in 10 Gbps.
Δthat is, we are essentially talking about speeds at 10.000 Mbps, for those who want to compare with the VDSL that some have in Greece. In the USA only a few lucky people can have speeds up to 1 Gbps and this at a significant cost. What is remarkable, however, is the price at which the Japanese can enjoy these speeds: Just $ 55 a month!
The above providers in Japan note, of course, that 10 Gbps is the maximum theoretical limit and customers may not achieve these speeds consistently. NTT East and NTT West say customers need these speeds to be able to enjoy 4K and 8K content, but also because of the spread of technology virtual reality.
It is also impressive that the 10 Gbps of these packets are symmetric, which means that customers can have this speed for both download and upload!
Subscribers need to use one FLET's Hikari Cross compatible router or pay an extra $ 4,48 a month to get from the provider. In addition to 10 Gbps support, the router also supports WiFi 6.
The service is provided in selected areas of Tokyo's 23 districts, such as Adachi, Suginami, Edogawa, Nerima, Setagaya, Katsushika, Ota and Itabashi for NTT East, while NTT West covers areas such as Osaka and Nagoya.
To connect to the service, the subscriber also needs to pay a "construction cost", something similar to connection fee which is about $ 161.
