I’m sure that the installation was actually purely coincidental – I’m sure that it takes more than 2 weeks to install fibre optics throughout the neighbourhood. And simply being on the network doesn’t really carry much of a benefit. Well, maybe some bragging rights.

Yup, Japanese upload faster than I can download. And considering the asynchronous nature of internet connectivity, that says a lot.

Isn’t fiber optics a standard is Japan? North America is pretty behind in terms of internet connections.

We have Fiber Optics being installed in new areas, but no ISP utilize it yet. I am not raising hopes on this.

Heh, you did tell me about your ISP situation. Though to be fair I don’t really get any of this extra bandwidth, just the indirect benefit of a more stable connection.

I did tell you before about our numbers

I paid $550 to install air-cable to my new home location instead of waiting for the government land lines. After that there is the monthly $59/month for 256 DSL Connection, which is not up everytime you want it.

Man, you don’t like the bandwidth, give it to someone dying to have half of it.
