Japan Gets Even More 1Gbps Broadband
You have to laugh. No really. What else can you do when here in the UK you struggle to get half of your 2Mb or 4Mb per second ‘advertised broadband speed’ and in Japan, some lucky east coast surfers are about to get 1Gbps broadband. KDDI Corp has announced a fibre optic communications service with upload and download speeds of up to 1Gb per second on Oct 1. Aimed at people living in “single-family homes and low-rise apartment buildings”, the 1Gbps service will be a drastic leap up from the not exactly slow, 100Mbps broadband already available. It will cost around £35 per month - including telephone - as long as people are willing to sign up for two years. Can you imagine the customer complaints? “Hi, I have a complaint. I signed up for your 1Gbps broadband but according to my speed tester, I’m only getting downloads of around 550Mbps.” Where the hell is my passport?-Martin Lynch [Japan Today]
