Now THAT's what's needed for 100% digital distribution of video games.

What most here don't understand: this is only the access at home. You won't have twice more fun than with google's solution because
a) the backbone infrastructure will most probably limit the bandwidth as this is surely not ready for costumers using their 2gb/s.
b) peering partners in japan will not be ready to such a demand
c) traffic has to come to japan and transported back to foreign countries
By now, it is a very nice marketing move but users won't have much benefit of it. As I read, they just bring a lightweight onu to customers (onu's are nothing new) with 3 gige-interfaces (nothing new) and a standard 802.11-technique. I would gladly see bandwidth-tests that are testing servers outside of japan (and preferebly not something this isp provides).
I pay $62 a month for 20 mbps download and 2 mbps upload. Fucking monopolistic cable companies ripping US consumers off...

I have never had any form of Data-cap. I live in Sweden and from that point of view, I guess I am kinda lucky. Currently using a 100/100 Mbit FiberLan connection of which I get an actual speed of about 95/85 (down/up). I can't wait for everyone to be able to enjoy that kind of connection. Crossing my fingers for all of you who don't enjoy the same "freedom"!
Data cap? Wazzat?
In Romania only mobile internet has data caps...and outrageous prices. My home traffic goes above and beyond 500 Gb monthly. And I pay 12 Euros for it.
Great move on Sony. Should be helping their image.
| superchunk said: Nice. I wonder if people on Google's Fiber or Sony's Nuro are actually never going to see those speeds as its faster than the rest of the internet. |
I was on NBN australia's national broadband network (alas I had to move to another area where it hasn't been connected quite yet )the max was 1gigabit up from the initial 100megabit still most plans are 50 and 100 but like the technician said they where initially only going to offer the top end 1gigabit to commercial customers down the track , but upon seeing Google (who had started their fibre venture in the US after being impressed with the NBN roll out) going with 1gig they activated it here as well and like my tech said the 1gigabit 2 gigabit max at the moment is a tiny fraction of the speed that fibre can achieve it is held back on the exchange side and so future speed increase is just a matter of implimenting the natural improvements to exchange side technology , as to real world speeds they are a similar % wise to ADSL touted speeds versus realworld .
Research shows Video games help make you smarter, so why am I an idiot
Lol I have 20mb and here in Switzerland (a highly developed european country) it's not slow at all! 
Game of the year 2017 so far:
5. Resident Evil VII
Damn! I'm still happy with the upgrade I got on my connection, I had 5Mb/s download 2 years ago
i'm sure they force "always-on" connection on their customers to use this so called "internet"
“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”
- George Orwell, ‘1984’
