The Internet around the world until recently was not very fast. So, even 15 years ago, even in the most developed countries, connection to the network was very slow. This severely limited the speed of information exchange. Today, everything has changed. The highest speed internet can be found in Korea and Japan. Last ahead of the whole planet in connection speed.
The fastest Internet in the world appeared not so long ago in Japan.
It was launched by Sony's renowned Internet service provider So-net Entertainment. This new network is called Nuro. She is very fast. Nuro is based on fiber optic technology. At the moment, the download speed reaches 2 gigabits per second. In this case, the download speed reaches 1 gigabit per second. This information was provided by Sony official representatives.
So far, the fastest Internet in the world can be tested only by those who live in Tokyo and the next six prefectures. Moreover, the monthly fee for it is not so high. She is 51 dollars a month. But there are some conditions. Thus, the conclusion of a contract with a provider is a mandatory procedure. Connection fee is $ 535 at a time. The contract for the fastest Internet in the world is for two years.
Similar technology operates in the United States (Kansas City and Texas). It is called Google Fiber. Compared to Japan, the monthly fee there is twice as high, and the download speed is half as much. In addition, Google Fiber so far only works in experimental mode. The city of Kansas City is selected as the base.
On the territory of the city, whose population is 600 thousand people, they created the latest fiber optic network. The cost of the proposal is $ 120 per month. It includes not only unlimited Internet at a speed of 1 gigabit per second, but also a

tablet with Fiber-TV. But there are cheaper options that allow you to abandon Internet television. Compared to Nuro, Google Fiber will cost more anyway.
Scientists from Great Britain are working on new technology, which is designed to radically change the speed of access to the Internet. They are developing new technologies at the University of Bangor. They plan to change the speed of Internet access to 20 gigabits per second for ordinary users thanks to new developments and technologies. And that's about 2,000 times faster than today.
The fastest Internet in Russia in terms of speed still lags behind countries with advanced high technologies. But there is a possibility that the inhabitants of our country will be able to walk around the expanses of the World Wide Web with a high connection speed. There are already prerequisites for this. So, in Chelyabinsk, in test mode, they launched a new technology that allows you to get Internet speed up to 1 gigabit per second.
As for Japan, unfortunately, the fastest Internet in the world will not be available to users of all personal computers, without exception. The fact is that most PCs are equipped with a built-in network card, which limits the download speed to 1 gigabit per second. Therefore, the new network will be available only at enterprises where special equipment is installed on computers. The development of new technologies does not stand still, and in the near future fast Internet will be available to most users.
