actually we don’t even feel worried about the bandwidth limit.

a download like 1GB done in torrent completes in less than 30 minutes.

I enjoy these type of discussions. It is great to hear what other’s opinions are. What do you guys think?

Come to think of it… 65 years ago, Japan was as poor as the Philippines…

And so it begins. I wonder when would this happen in the Philippines too?

It’s a long shot, but perhaps Zooomr is a cause for the upload craze. They are based in Japan now after all.

@名無し-san : i think it goes both ways. Because we don’t have good DSL connectivity or chea price in the Philippines, users tend to maximize(abuse) their connections.

You are right, this cap will not even be felt by majority of users in Japan but will filter out the power-users.

yuga-san, first time i’ve heard of this.

“Only shows that despite the very fast and cheap DSL connectivity, consumers will still abuse the service.”

shouldn’t this read: “Because of the very fast and cheap DSL connectivity, some consumers are bound to abuse the system.”?

truth is, 99.9 of Japanese users won’t even know or care about this because most of them don’t even know what 30GB of daily upload is.

btw, i use the ocn 100mbps connection and pay about $36 a month.

jeffrey-san, to upload 30GB of photos everyday, you will have to shoot at least that much daily which is not technically impossible but… i doubt even pros shoot that much.

30GB would mean a superfast connection open 24 hours a day sharing video and audio files.

so that’s how they share the latest j-dorama/anime episodes and movies almost as soon as they are aired.

Probably the Japanese people use social networking sites, where uploading of photos is done like there’s no tomorrow.

Or maybe music or what have they.
