A Note About FTTH

FLET'S Hikari Next services are FTTH services. FTTH stands for "Fiber To The Home" and is a high-speed Internet connection provided by a fiber-optic network directly to the user's home. We are using the term "FTTH" to cover all fiber-optic connection services offered by ASAHI Net and our partners NTT East, NTT West and KDDI. These services also include Mansion-type fiber-optic services where the fiber-optic cable is supplied to the building the user lives in but may not extend directly into the user's home in that building; instead LAN cabling or telephone cabling inside the building may be used to supply the service into the user's home.

FTTH services are "best-effort" services, therefore factors including line conditions and Internet congestion will cause the speed to be lower: there is no guarantee for the actual speeds that will be achieved through use of these services.

Special Notes for English Speakers

Here is a list of points that should be considered by English speakers and/or people using computers with English-only operating systems.

• Windows XP/Windows Vista/MacOSX: If you have an English Windows XP, Windows Vista or MacOSX computer, you are in luck because the software needed (PPPoE) is pre-installed. Visit our Configuration Guide to find the settings for Windows XP, Windows Vista and MacOSX PPPoE. Please do not install NTT's Japanese software from their CD into your English Windows XP, Windows Vista or MacOSX.



• Routers: If NTT has supplied you with a VoIP router, you may configure it to make the Internet connection instead of using PPPoE in your computer. Visit our Configuration Guide for how to configure the NTT VoIP router step by step, in English, with pictures. The documentation NTT supply with their routers is only available in Japanese.



• Older PC's: If you have an older English Windows or Mac computer, you may find it easier to connect it to a PPPoE router (provided by NTT or your own). Finding and installing your own PPPoE software in your computer is also an option, however, we can not support third party software, particularly if it is no longer being supported by their makers. Please do not install NTT's Japanese software from their CD into your English computer. Visit our Configuration Guide for more information.



• There is no English-language documentation provided by NTT for this service.
