New York, NY | MDU's in Japan have Ethernet to the apartment, not fiber Apartments in Japane get a 100mbit Ethernet drop in the apartment, not fiber to the apartment like Verizon is doing here. NTT delivers fiber to the basement and delivers ethernet after that point. VZ is delivering more bandwidth to the end user than Japan currently does.
This NTT fiber service offering page tells the story:

North Andover, MA | Technically Verizon is doing the same (not sure about apartments). They don't wire fiber up to your bedroom.. just your basement. Then it's ethernet/coax from there. |

New York, NY | Yes, I do understand your point. I was being careful to say apartments/MDU's as opposed to houses as you are stating. Reading the installation method VZ used in one building in Manhattan, the fiber went in risers up each floor of the building and was then routed to each apartment. Japan does not do this and sends Ethernet up to each apartment in the apartments I saw in Japan. |
