Thought Google Fiber is the fastest internet service money can afford? Well, think again because So-Net Entertainment Corporation, a local ISP in Japan and a subsidiary of Sony Corporation has recently unveiled NURO, the world’s fastest home internet that’s twice the speed of what Google has to offer.
NURO runs on Japan’s GPON (Gigabit-capable Passive Optics Network) which is capable of handling top DL speed of up to 2.49Gbps. From the network, it is distributed to offices and households through optical fiber which then passes through a device called ONU (Optical Network Unit) that converts the signal to broadband internet.
So how fast is So-Net’s NURO? It’s capable of an eye-popping downlink speed of 2Gbps with an upload speed of 1Gbps. It’s so fast that it makes our current LTE service look like dial-up connection when pitted against it.
The service is being offered in Japan for USD51 on a two-year contract plus an additional USD535 for installation fee. Now imagine if we can hook up to that kind of connection. Not bad, considering that you’re getting what you’ve signed up for unlike here in our country.

dwerek says:
Dito naman sa Singapore naka M1 ako. For SG $75 (Almost 2,500) sa GamePro Plan may 200 Mbps ka na at fiber optic pa ang network. Maski janitor ata dito naka 50 Mbps.
fireice2 says:
Dapat ibawal na “UP TO” na internet speed advertising.
Christian says:
Kahit sabihin pa ng government na dapat ganito ang standard speed ng internet, hindi naman nila kayang pasunurin ‘tong mga giant telcos natin e. kayang kaya i-bully ng mga telcos ang government natin. At wala namang paki-alam ang mga telcos na ‘to satin, importante ay kumita sila.
roiji says:
i’d take this anytime without hesitation!
mas sulit kaysa sa mga offerings dito! hehe’
don’t care about the installation fee mahal naman talaga mag latag ng optic fiber XD
mautak ang sony says:
ginawa siguro ito ng sony para gumanda at bumilis ang internet functions ng mga 4K-tvs nila.
swix says:
So dito sa Pilipinas, isa sa pinakamataas na singil sa kuryente, overpriced pa ang internet relative sa speed na nakukuha.
meh says:
So why can’t the philippines do this? I don’t understand why the country stays so far behind. They tax the people a lot, so they have money, whats the hold up?
kaius says:
like duhh as if u don’t know! its bcoz TELCO’s and the government here in the Philippines are all greedy and corrupt! all of their faces look the same “BUWAYA”.
yify says:
imagine all the movies you can download!!
fireice2 says:
Why download when you can stream Full HD and even 4k videos at those speeds?
daenerys says:
on your website? heheh
Renel says:
11k nga bayad namin sa dalawang connection para walang delay sa internet cafe :)
Sobrang mura ang internet sa japan
UpLink says:
Kapag inadd yung monthly bill for 24 months at installation fee. Mahigit 3000 pesos per month lang. :O
benchmark says:
Sa opinion ko lang naman, if yung mga telcos natin, focus sa isang speed, pero consistent naman, mas ok sana…pero hinde eh, benta sila ng benta ng i-net, yet yung reliability nung speed, hinde naman nila maibigay…parang false advertising ba. Worse, ang dami naman naloloko nila….just sad. :(
Sana focus muna sila sa EDGE or 3G, kung mabigay nila ng 90% nung speed nun as in CONSISTENT for the whole year round, then dun sila lumipat ng 4G or LTE…

Hence the 4K movie stream and PS4 live stream services.
garz says:
$51 a month but $535 installation fee?
Rabitto29 says:
while here in the Philippines, you’ll have to dish out Php20,000.00 per month for a measly 100Mbps speed (PLDT fibr, Globe Torque) compared to that $51 per month with 2Gbps :/
lolwut says:
Let’s do the math comparing it to a 3mbps offered by PLDT, shall we?
$51 x 24mos = $1224
$1224 + 535 = $1759
$1759 x Php41 = Php 72119
PLDT 3mbps
Php 2600 x 24mos = Php 62400
P 62400 + 1000 (installation fee)
= Php 63400
for less than 10k PHP I’d take this if it were just available here.
Jehmaine says:
Lol, imagine 51USD per month.. or about 2k php per month lang. and you will get that speed. tama ba?
kaya says:
papatulan ko yan basta guaranteed speed at walang limit ang download/upload.
sana mahiya naman ang mga telco natin
Pai says:
from what i understand, ung 51 USD (2,100 PHP) na yan is good for 2 years, kaso magkakatalo lang sa installation fee na 535 USD, which is nasa 22,000 PHP :)
Rich says:
Panaginip lang yan dito sa Pilipinas!
if ever magkaroon ng ganyan dito, its only good on Paper. dahil greedy ang mga Telcos dito!
Rabitto29 says:
grabeng speed yan O_O baka pagkaclick ko ng download tapos agad
Digest says:
Walang pag asa dito sa pinas. Yan lang masasabi ko. Bow.
manuel says:
malayu pa tayu diyan. taga dito ako sa US eh, dito di overprice internet pero para sakin yung 20mbps ko sobra sobra na eh. dati 3mbps lang ako tapos nung nagpakabit ako ng 20 parang di ko pala kailangan. wala kasi in between 20 and 3 kaya parang nakakapanghinayang. Sana maging standard narin ang 3mbps sa pilipinas para atleast di mabagal video call ko sa pilipinas
Ryan says:
