Residents of Tokyo will soon get the fastest internet with speeds reaching 25 Gbps
Soon, users worldwide will envy Tokyo residents as ultra-fast home internet is launched in Japan's capital.
What is known
The Japanese telecommunications company NTT East announced that starting March 2026, Tokyo will have a fiber-optic network (FTTH) with an impressive speed of up to 25 Gbps. For comparison, the current maximum speed available to the mass consumer in Japan is limited to 10 Gbps, which is a significant figure considering today's average median home internet speed in Europe is approximately 150–250 Mbps.
NTT East will offer users a new plan called Flet Hikari 25G, which will operate on the best-effort principle — the maximum possible speed under current conditions. The global goal of the company is to deploy next-generation digital infrastructure.
Residents of the rest of the world will have to be patient while waiting for such internet to appear.
