Re: 100Mbps connectivity for $39
said by King Duck  :Just remembered.... And if you try to get truly unlimitted broadband in Australia you are restricted to slow dsl or cable and pay $200 to $300 a month for the privilege.... The cheaper broadband plans over there either cut you off when you reach your monthly quota or slow you down to, essentially, dialup speed for the remainder of your month. Australia does not count, they are spineless when it comes to technology.

You are welcome to keep thinking that, but you are wrong... Japan is constantly laying additional fiber lines over Pacific and has direct links to LA and Seattle... Tokyo pings are only about 40-60ms higher so difference is minimal. Granted that you will never get your full 100mbits in Japan from a single source in NA due to limitations of Pacific links, but if you thread your connection then maxing out your pipe won't be a problem. |

said by Xizer :Because we all know that Japan is a communist country that oppresses their citizens. South Korea is also very oppressive. Why, neither of those countries are democratic at all! Their Internet access is also very censored. Yup... I hope that was a joke, because I did not find Korean internet censored at all, at least the sites I normally go to here in the US of A I could access over in Seosan, Korea, which is NOT a big tourist area.
Now if you could put some examples of the censoring you think they do here, and what material they do not want you to see, then I might believe you.

Yeah except most websites you'd even care about are so far away from Japan that you will be lucky to get dial up speeds. |

On the other hand, Japanese internet, which is what this is talking about, has unrestricted access to your NA internet.....
So, 100Meg for $39 a month is a great deal whichever way you look at it.
Although maybe xenophobes are blind to logic?

said by backness :You just can't imagine it because you are used to NA internet  I'd take "North American" internet any day over "Asian" internet. So, what is "Asian" internet? Smoke signals in Siberia? Censored websites in China? Nonexistent internet in North Korea?
bah, they can keep it. I like my North American internet! And for the hell of it, I wouldn't mind letting the Mexicans in on the group.
