You can read a review about it on kirainet.com, by Hector, The Geek in Japan.

They were actually waiting for a boys band concert... Can't remember the name.
Finally we have an optical fiber line at home, called here Hikari (å…‰) so now we can enjoy a 1Gbps speed connection! Nothing unusual in Japan, pioneer in optical fiber.
