Clarifying Japan's Internet Speeds
The user mentioned something in Chinese about Japan's internet speed, which I translated. It seems they might want to discuss various aspects of Japan’s internet, like mobile or broadband speeds. I should clarify what specifically they’re interested in, like whether they're talking about mobile 5G or fiber!
Since my knowledge goes up until October 2024, I can provide general info, but I can’t give details for 2025. I'll keep it concise.Summarizing Japan's Internet Infrastructure
Japan boasts impressive FTTH (Fiber to the Home) adoption, featuring services like NTT FLET'S Hikari, AU Hikari, and So-net NURO Hikari, with speeds reaching up to 10 Gbps. NTT Docomo also provides high-speed 5G mmWave in select areas. The country's international connectivity is robust, with several submarine cables, including FASTER, JUPITER, and APRICOT—planned for 2024. The term "outside line speed" likely refers to Japan’s international network capabilities, which are often compared to those in China.Discussing Japan's Internet Connectivity
The user's phrase seems like a casual comment that could spark a conversational reply, like how Japan has a high broadband adoption rate with fiber connections offering speeds of 10G or 20G. Japan benefits from low latency to the US and Southeast Asia, thanks to IX peering and open access provided by NTT. On average, Japan ranks in the top ten for fixed broadband speeds, with median speeds around 180-220 Mbps and mobile speeds between 55-80 Mbps, particularly with 5G.Responding to Internet Speed Inquiry
I want to ensure I'm providing accurate information without any inaccuracies. It’s true that Japan consistently ranks high globally in fixed broadband and fiber penetration. Examples like NURO Hikari's 10G plan and NTT's FLET'S Hikari Cross 10G highlight this. Some services even offer 20G in select areas. I could ask what specific aspect the user is curious about, and suggest they compare with their region, providing tools like iperf3 or speedtest-cli. Let’s keep it concise and maybe ask for clarification!Providing Information on Japan's Internet
Absolutely! In Japan, fixed broadband is primarily FTTH, with symmetrical speeds starting at 1G and 10G plans available in major cities, and even 20G in some areas. Tokyo and Osaka serve as significant Asia Pacific hubs with international connections via JPNAP and BBIX, plus numerous trans-Pacific cables like JUPITER and FASTER. Latency to the U.S. West Coast is around 100-120 ms, while connections to regions like Hong Kong or Singapore generally see 30-70 ms. I should ask if the user is experiencing fast speeds on a particular line or if they're looking for advice on picking broadband or mobile plans!
确实,日本的“外线”(国际/外网)和本地宽带都很能打。
- 固网:FTTH占主流,1G 对称是基础款;东京/大阪等地常见 10G 套餐,部分地区甚至有 20G 选项(如 FLET’S Hikari Cross、NURO 10G、auひかり 10G 等)。
- 国际出口:东京/大阪是亚太枢纽,JPNAP/BBIX/JPIX 等 IX 很活跃,叠加多条海缆(JUPITER、FASTER、Unity、APG 等),到美西常见约 100–120 ms,到港澳台/新加坡大多 30–70 ms,链路冗余也做得不错。 
- 体验好的一些原因:开放接入+充分竞争(NTT 东西铺设光纤,ISP 复用最后一公里)、城域网密度高、对等互联积极、国际带宽充足、拥塞控制做得好。
- 移动侧:5G 在热点场景(含毫米波)速率很亮眼,但全国覆盖以 Sub-6 为主,稳定速度视区域与运营商负载而定。
你是自己测到哪个线路很快,还是想参考怎么在日本选宽带/手机卡、或做跨境加速/优化?我可以按你的使用场景给更具体的建议或测速/路由验证思路。
