Network operator LG Uplus said Sunday that it had started an Internet service that offers connection speeds of up to 1 gigabit per second over cable in Seoul.
The 1 Gbps speed is 10 times faster than existing 100-megabits-per-second Internet services and enables users to download a 1.2-gigabyte movie in 10 seconds. The fast Internet service offers Wi-Fi services with speeds of up to 867Mbps as well.

Subscribers to the firm’s IPTV streaming and smart home services, including U+TV G 4K UHD, U+TV G Woofer and Home CCTV Mom Car, will be able to benefit from the faster Internet connectivity.
They will also receive discounts of up to 5,000 won ($4.10) if they subscribe to both LG Uplus’s multimedia or smart home service and the Internet service.
The base fee for the Internet service with a three-year contract stands at 28,000 won.
“The company plans to make the 1Gbps Internet services available in every nook and corner of Korea by the end of this year,” an LG Uplus official said.
