Japanese telecoms provider KDDI is due to launch a 1Gb/s internet service aimed at home users - with equal upstream and downstream bandwidth.

someone pack up my ****, I'm off to the land of the rising sun.

What's the point? You need some pretty hefty hardware to fully take advantage of something like that.

LeMaltor · 29th Sep 2008, 13:05

Will Virgin be providing this next year?

The Uk does not have the necessary Infrastructure yet, it will be years before we even see 1/10th of that.

You've not been counting very long then?

Ghys · 29th Sep 2008, 14:32

there has to be a catch , like a monthly 5gb limit or something

eeevan · 29th Sep 2008, 14:35

well, that settles it.

ComputerKing · 29th Sep 2008, 14:52

HOLY COW! I must vista japan and download 8 TB in about 10 days

each min = 60GB --- each hour = 60 X 60 = 3600GB --- each day 3600 X 24 = 86400GB

WOWOOWWOW must move to japan

my internet is 2mb/s

that is the best in whole UAE

LeMaltor · 29th Sep 2008, 15:11

Is it not 125MB per second, 8 bits in a byte and all that?

1Gb not 1GB, small b for bit instead of B for byte

severedhead · 29th Sep 2008, 15:18

Just... wow. I have 20MB broadband over here and the pathetic 768KB upload speed is crippling it. It takes forever to upload stuff to my webspace.

Redbeaver · 29th Sep 2008, 15:39

i'm paying $45/month here in Canada for cable that downloads 6+ Mbps and up 768kb.... which is good.

but the 90GBb/month is a pain

Shocking!

Why not Virgin Media take example? Maybe they've taken already... from 3rd world countries introducing 'Fair Usage Crap'
