Recently we checked some of these mega residential towers in Tokyo (like 50 floors, 30 units per floor, often near the coast line near shinagawa, Chuo City, toyosu etc.)
Quite a few of them don't allow you to pick or change the internet provider yourself. Instead, everything is pre-installed and setup including router and the costs included in your rent. Here is a picture of one of those setups. Looks neat. They say it's つなぐネット 1Gbps which I never heard before…
I'm not a particular fan of this approach as I have a small home NAS and would like to host a website myself. That can be tricky without any control over your ISP or router. I have honestly also no idea how the internet is in these residential blocks. With so many clients mostly active at the same time, I'd imagine it sucks and 1G doesn't mean much. And of course I don't trust what the agent says. On the other hand, most of the modern towers should have been build and setup with massive number of clients in mind. So… Yeah.
Anyone with experience here or knows how I could check and research myself (like websites that share speed tests of users or something like that)?
