Brooklyn, NY | Believable Statistic Even though I live in the confines of NYC, I'm actually at just over 15,000 feet from my CO (literally on the last side of the last block) and only qualify for 1.5Mb downstream on a DSL circuit.
Sure, I COULD get cable, but as a satellite sub it doesn't make sense to pay a premium for historically shoddy internet service from TWC.
Hopefully with the EVENTUAL rollout of more FTTH/FTTN the aggregate speeds will go up across the board. |

South Florida isn't really considered a major market for FTTH. I think we are deemed as 'unprofitable'.
Tampa on the other hand....
The 1.5Mbps seems right to me, as well as the upload. I'm not surprised by Japan either. I read somewhere you can get like 1gb lines for like US$79 (don't quote me on that). |
