TOKYO — By the end of November, the Internet at Misawa Air Base should be on-line all the time, according to officials from the Army and Air Force Exchange Service.
In the next few weeks, Verizon will install a 70 percent larger circuit in the Tokyo area, according to Andrew Weaver, an assistant vice president with AAFES.
The change will mean all on-base Internet users can expect a constant connection that runs at up to 12 megabits per second.
More importantly, it means the Internet connection should work at that speed during peak hours, no matter how many people are downloading their favorite TV show or playing online video games, Weaver said.
