Sony-affiliated Internet service provider So-net this week launched what it's billing as the world's fastest home Internet service in a limited number of prefectures in Japan.

The Nuro Light network, as the new service is called in a translation from Japanese, is "the world's fastest optical fiber service" delivering 2Gbps download speeds and 1Gbps upload speeds, according to reports.

Nuro Internet service will reportedly cost just $50 per month, or about 4,880 yen, for users in the Tokyo, Chiba, Gunma, Ibaraki, Tochigi, Kanagawa, and Saitama areas where it will initially be deployed. Nuro customers will get an optical network unit with three-Gigabit ethernet ports and support for 450Mbps over 802.11 a/b/g.
