Comment on Japan sets new internet speed world record — 4 million times faster than average US speeds
JohnEdwa@sopuli.xyz 2 weeks agoIf it’s like here in Finland, coverage means there’s a fibre running under the street in front but because it costs a ton to connect a building to it, especially if you want higher speeds and have to start retrofitting every apartment, many haven’t done it.
For example our house officially has fibre coverage, but the street-to-house connection costs ~1800€ which is why we still run a VDSL.

That’s exactly what’s going on here. My landlord refuses to install the upgrade even if I pay for it too 😔
