Japanese Prices

Considering that Japanese get 2mb up 50M down at $25, HELL NO!

Spread the word and maybe these phone companies will see just how overpriced they really are.

Yo

@comcast.net

I just have to make a correction to you on the ridiculousness of this statement. Japan is not at all similar to the U.S. geographically, compare the price of running fiber optics a few miles in Japan(to get 50mbps for 25 bucks) and running it many miles(a few hundred) to get 20 mbps. If it were easy and cheap it would have already been done. Another point is the 14 state Qwest region is the most spread out region of any of the baby bells thus making it the hardest to get high internet speeds wired for cheap, there is just too much land. So the simple fact is that yes comparatively it seems expensive this is not the case, it is priced at the right amount for the area it is offered.

As far as the upload speeds I agree 1mbps is a little low, however I strongly believe Qwest will be changing that since this is an extremely new internet speed offer.

*NOTE: I do work for Qwest so obviously I do have a bias, but at the same time like to state facts.
