| Japan is also posting usage numbers that line up with numbers reported by North Amercica ISPs, despite the higher data rates.
Median usage is 94.1MB/day (2.823GB/mo)
Average usage is 862.6MB/day (25.878GB/mo)

Before someone posts the usual line that Japan has a higher population density than the USA, here are some figures:
Japan Population Density = 872.8/sq mi*
New Jersey Population Density = 1,134/sq mi*
*Numbers taken from Wikipedia
Japans Average speed = 61mbps (From ITIF Broadband rankings »www.itif.org/files/BroadbandRankings.pdf)
New Jersey Average speed = 5.83mbps (From CWA report on internet speeds »files.cwa-union.org/speedmatters···rsey.pdf)
While the numbers may not be 100%, such a difference even assuming a 50% margin for error should raise some eyebrows.

The funny thing is my friend there chooses the 8Mbit service for 12USD/month, because he wants to save some money. 50MB for around 32 dollars is more common. |

You're an idiot. Try thinking before you make yourself sound so stupid |

Two HUGE issues with your statement
Look at the density of a New Jersey:
330m^2 is equal to 1134mi^2
While Tokyo's density is 5800m^2.
If you look at smaller areas in Japan, many still use ADSL or ADSL2+. Lots of places still use copper. So when making a comparison to Japan, you really need to look at availability. And the way our market works here... pro-deregulation is so big in America but if you look at the nation with the most and cheapest broadband, it is heavily regulated, yet dominated by the incumbents.
