Where do you live where you can get 2 gigabit speeds at home?
- neverminder 10y agoIt's more likely he meant 240Mbit/s
- scandox 10y agoYes sorry I did

- scandox 10y ago240 Mbps. So AFAIK 240 megabits per second. Is my original notation ambiguous?
- Flimm 10y agoA capital B indicates "byte", and a lower-case b indicates "bit". 240 MBps is eight times faster than 240 Mbps. When it comes to speeds in bits per second, M almost always means 1000000, and not 1048576.
- jlgaddis 10y agoNetworking speeds are pretty much universally represented in bits (per second) -- "little b". Storage, on the other hand, uses bytes -- "big B". So, yeah... > I have 240MB/s at home ... You're saying you have a 240 MBytes x 8 -- or 1920 Mbit/s -- connection.
- sheepdestroyer 10y agoPossibly OP was incorrectly confusing Mbps and MBps but in Japan Sony offers 2Gb/s for home connections. I had their 1Gb/s plan for ~6000JPY/Month when I was living in Kyoto. Was great
- guan 10y agoHow is a 2 Gb/s home connection presented? 10GbE?
- feld 10y agoYes
- kalleboo 10y agoLooks like they now offer 10 Gbps. And yeah, it shows 10 GbE ethernet card support https://www.nuro.jp/10g/ https://www.nuro.jp/10g/ edit: here's a list of their supported end-user equipment, they all seem to only have 1 Gbps RJ-45 ports https://www.nuro.jp/device.html https://www.nuro.jp/device.html edit2: for the new 10 Gbps service they have self-branded routers with one 10GBASE-T port (and 3 gigabit ports), dunno what hardware it's based on https://www.nuro.jp/news/150601/10g_150601.pdf https://www.nuro.jp/news/150601/10g_150601.pdf
