Let’s take a look at the greedy members. In one post you sing the praises of municipal broadband and in this you curse them for being members of Fiber to the Home. Does anyone read does anyone know what is going on? Or is it just knee jerk reactions? If you would read and look up the facts you would not keep repeating the B.S. that is shoveled by special interests.

| Re: Who cares who's pushing it?
said by Eloquorius  :Who cares if people/companies who stand to profit are pushing for fiber? Even if they can get us 20Mbps as a baseline standard that would still leave us behind Japan where you can get a symetrical 100Mbps connections for less than $35/month! Wouldn't it be nice to have a link to the company in Japan that provides symetrical 100Mbps for $35 a month. I don't believe it, how can anyone believe it? If one is going to post B.S. it should not be such blatant B.S.
You are in luck, I have the facts, not the B.S. 100M is not available to *individual applications* and the speed is a best effort.
quote:
This service uses optical fiber and is compatible with "B FLET'S" offered by NTT East Corp. or NTT West Corp. High-speed access reaching a maximum of 100Mbps is available. You will be able to video images on Internet and enjoy stress-free net surfing.However, the service is of best-effort type as maximum speed will fall depending on the number of users accessing the service at the same time and transmission speed cannot be guaranteed.
(*1) This is a best-effort type service and does not guarantee transmission speed.
(*2) Individual application not accepted. NTT will install communication equipment in the common space of the site and either the administration association or the owner can apply. For details, call NTT.
(*3) If a collective dwelling has no LAN wiring, but wishes to use NTT terminal devices, including PNA, maximum transmission speed will be subject to NTT terminal devices.

As for cost, installation is about $280.00. Verizon installs FIOS for free. The monthly cost for *B FLET'S"Basic* is as follows; NTT the tube provider charges ¥9450 a month for providing the tube, internal wiring usage charge ¥210, Optical network unit rental charge ¥945. This comes to ¥10,605 tax included. Now DION the ISP has an Internet Charge of ¥7,854 tax included. That comes to $158.00 a month for a shared 100M connection.
I grow weary doing all of the research only to be ignored and people keep posting the B.S. over and over again. The people making the decisions about America's network do the research and know the facts. It is good to know the facts. Then one can separate the truth from the Teletruth and *The truth will make you free*. | |
