Re: 100Mbps connectivity for $39

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.

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.
