World’s Fastest Broadband at $20 Per Home
From the New York Times’ BITS Blog: World’s Fastest Broadband at $20 Per Home
From the article: “Pretty much the fastest consumer broadband in the world is the 160-megabit-per-second service offered by J:Com, the largest cable company in Japan. Here’s how much the company had to invest to upgrade its network to provide that speed: $20 per home passed.”
While in the United States we pay silly prices for much poorer service. Why? Because there’s no real competition, and because they know if we get true high-speed, we’ll stop paying for cable.
