Re: It could be cheaper still... said by icantdecide :
In Seoul, South Korea, we have 100mb/30mb service with HDTV, VOD, etc. and WiFi IP phone, for about $30/month.
It was fun to fire up BitTorrent and download at Ethernet speeds, or experiment with Speedtest and discover that results depended greatly upon workstation performance because wire speed was just that high, with actual numbers coming in close to 90 down.
This is a step in the right direction here in the 'States but more work is needed.
In less than a week my building will have symmetrical 100mbps service @ $40/mo per user. Right now we have 60mbps. Yes, it is funny once you get into the higher speeds that you discover user hardware limitations.
It can be done in the US. Just takes some motivation of property owners. Of course this is only easy to do with hi-rise buildings, that's still a big market in urban areas. |
