I don't understand the pricing schemes and throttles that seem to pervade North America. I live in a fairly small town in Southern Japan nowhere near the population centers like Tokyo and Osaka. About three months ago I got fiber-optic internet to my apartment, with no installation fee. Right now my wireless net is connected at 144mbps. Yes, you read that right. The lowest speed I've had is 117mbps. The entire package of net, isp, and phone runs me about $50 a month. That's cheaper than my DSL was, and cheaper than dial-up. I love it that better technology gets cheaper here! Did I mention they gave me the modem and router?
