Re: [BLUG] insight broadband vs. flets

100M fiber to what?  The local ISP's lan where they have a DS3 (or whatever Japan has) connected to a peering point?  You can have a 1000M network in your local lan but that doesn't mean you got 1000M link to the backbone.

It reminds me of buying car speakers.  A true 250W amp in your car might leave you def.. Your not getting what you pay for.

Visiting my in laws in Japan, I can't help but gawk at how much faster broadband you can get over here.  My in laws (unfortunately) are on ISDN, but the isp they are with (Flets), offers 50M aDSL connections for US $42/month, or I can even get a 100M fiber connection for US $57/month.  Makes Insight broadband's advertised 10M cable connections look like a joke.
