 Japan rolling out 10gbit internet everywhere soon. Not in my area yet :( but I can’t wait!

Hopefully the congestion won’t be as terrible.

Narrator: it’ll be terrible. 
 10gbit... WTF for?  
 Government = ISP in Japan? 
 No. ISPs and network companies are separate things here which makes for nice competition. 


We have a handful of networks by NTT - they install the optical lines direct to home but you have to choose ISP 
 So the physical network and virtual network are separate? Kinda cool 
 Yes 
 Depends on if it’s PON or not too 
 If it’s PON, it’s shared through everyone sharing the same fiber. Also asymmetrical upload (2.5Gbps) 
 I can’t even get what I currently pay for geez lol …800 mbs is what I pay for & rarely get 200mbs!!! 
 But. A. FASTER. Terrible!

C'mon man! Jump on board! The train is going to go with or without you. 
 Yeah still congested but faster congested 
 Heehee
