BigRooster Posted January 3, 2006 CID Share Posted January 3, 2006 Well when we have ppl like those at Qwest (and most other major ISPs) who don't believe Americans need something like 100/100, we won't see those speeds anytime soon. Look at Sweden; they also offer at least 10/10 to a lot of their population. It's just sad, though...100/50 in Japan for about the price of AOL in the U.S. Really puts thing in perspective.

BigRooster Posted January 3, 2006 CID Share Posted January 3, 2006 Japan [obviously] has amazing bandwidth. I remember reading in some Networking magazine earlier in '05 that Hong Kong alone has a backbone with throughput in the neighborhood of 64,000Gbit, although numbers might be a bit off And a lot of it (if not most) is fiber!
