Isn’t it that PLDT is planning to get this fiber optics whatever that is mabilis daw? If that’s the case, affected ba lahat ng services nila?

The speeds are pretty good in Japan
Here (in Bulgaria, in Eastern Europe) the speeds are around 30 MBit/s, and technologies like PON, FTTH, FTTP are just starting on the market. I’m on GBit fiber and speed 20+ MB/s (megabytes) are normal.
I wonder that price are paying in Japan for their connections?

this is what makes me sick.
we are probably in the top five when it comes to IT outsourcing but our internet here is so slow and expensive.

govt and telcos should really do something about this.

Japan is a tiny island compared to America. Of course Japan has higher Internet. There is no reason to be upset or angry. Deal with it. :/

Hmm… why is Hong Kong not there… my HK friends reports that their top Home connection speed that is affordable to the general population is 7mbps. (Which is roughly the 1.5mbps price in the Philippines.)

And there’s a lot of interest – a ton of it, on the spectrum auction in the US. Controversies are surrounding it as we speak. It will quite possibly be the last auction of such in a very long time, thus major players are scrambling for a bigger piece of the pie. And consumers and advocacy groups know that the results of the auction will play a significant role on pricing and service trends in the years that will follow….

S. korea and Japan homes are just a few feet from their hub.

I’m in SF Peninsula, connected to a relay or ATM switch near my neighborhood which connects to Hayward, CA. My IP address on however shows I’m in the midwest.

Comcast just came out with the a 150mbps modem.

Thanks, it was a pretty interesting chart to me, because I lived and did commercial Internet business in Japan from 1996 through 1999. At that time the telcos and the government were not very forward looking about the Internet at all … South Korea was already about at the speeds they are today, so this had been a tremendous move forward for Japan, in 8 year’s time.

@ Vern, yes, it’s true, the US average speed sucks .. it’s better than the Philippines, perhaps, but lags far, far behind many other countries … much of the US infrastructure is owned/run by cable TV companies and their Internet service is just a necessary evil to them and their business model is built upon “provide the customer with the absolute least”. HBO is much more profitable than ISP service, so that’s where the money is spent.

Wow! I remember the time I asked my friends in the US about their connection speed there – said it was much faster, considerably much faster than in the Philippines (they have visited the Philippines more than 5 times already).
But wooooh! Look at Japan’s lead. IT IS a big spread! Awesome!

Looks like Japan is really maximizing its technology, pairing it with impressive dsl speed! well, my bestbud says Canada’s dsl is way way wayy faster than ours, so what more with Japan? I can only imagine!

To add to Vern… even US metro areas aren’t that fast. That’s because the data center your favorite site is hosted in might be in a different metro area, with some fiber in between. Plus, the US Internet infra is quite complex compared to Japan/SK which are dominated by a few monster telcos.
