Well, the record was recently broken by a Japanese internet provider, So-net, branch of electronics giant Sony, which offers a new fiber optic internet service called "Nuro" for residents of Tokyo, Japan.
Speed? 2 Gbps or twice Google Fiber. So-net parties claiming the internet connection is the fastest in the world.
Nuro using Gigabit network-capable Passive Optical Network (GPON) Japan could reportedly reach speeds of 2.488 Gbps downstream.
The interesting thing is the price. So-net set monthly fee only $ 50 U.S. dollars, or around Rp 490,000, lower than Google which costs 70 dollars exciting.
Even so, as reported by Tech Spot, no installation fee of 540 U.S. dollars to be paid before the So-net customers can enjoy the incredible connection speeds.
The possibility of the cost required to install fiber optic cable to the customer's home that has not been covered by So-net network. Instead, Google Fiber customers do not need to bear this cost because it was borne by Google.
So-net system also requires a two-year contract, two times longer than a one year contract required Google.
Tokyo itself is a suitable place to build a fiber-based internet connection. Here, about 25 percent of households have an internet connection using the glass fiber cables.
