Sony Launches Internet Service Offering Twice the Speed of Google Fiber
An anonymous reader writes "Sony Japan has announced that its own Internet service provider So-net Entertainment has launched what is thought to be the world's fastest Internet connection for home use in Japan with download speed of 2 Gbps on average. This speed is twice as fast as competing high-speed fiber connections in Japan. The ultra-fast connection, known as Nuro, will cost an inexpensive 4,980 yen ($51) per month- offering download speeds of 2 Gbps and uploads of up to 1 Gbps."
. . . now in 1080p with 7.1 surround!
"Is there really a noticeable difference between 1Gbps and 2?"
A big one, the data has to wait twice as long for your harddisk.
...if for any reason it causes the silentl install of a rootkit or performs some other criminal act within your enterprise, you'll be entitled to a pair of $1 iTunes gift certificates.

So, I got this super-awesome 2Gbps internet connection. What cheap router (max 50E) should I buy?
Love many, trust a few, do harm to none.
Enjoy the first post feature while it lasts, it'll be gone in your next mandatory router update.
