160Mbps connection


JCOM announced that users in Japan will be able to enjoy Hybrid Fiber Coax (HFC) 160Mbps connections from this April for a monthly fee of 6,300 yen. The only bad thing is that you only get 10Mbps upstream where with my FTTH (Fiber To The Home) connection I get about 50Mbps up (results here for those who are interested)
If you are thinking of hosting something at home then you would be better of with the FTTH connection.
BTW, this image has nothing whatsoever to do with this post. Its from a game called Cheerfull (NSFW) that came out today ^^;
If you are interested in reading about life in Japan, seeing photos taken daily around Tokyo, like Japanese subculture (anime, manga, figures, Dollfies) then you may want to start delving into the Japan or Figure categories for a start or have a gander at all photo articles.
If you don't have much time now, maybe subscribe to the RSS Feed, Twitter Feed or join the other readers in the FaceBook Page.
Alternatively, you may want to read more about the site.
If you are a regular reader then this message will probably annoy you each time - hide it forever.

My connection is awful. :( 6 Meg down and 3 Meg up for freaking $40+/month!!! The sad part is, it's the only one available down here, besides a slower DSL company.

Funny, my internet speed use to be heck of quick until we were having too many problems with the service and decided to switch to DSL. It's almost the same speed but not much of a difference.
Nice picture btw. :P

I am with an ISP called DEMON.Ive had a few problems with them in the past.main problem being that not long after we bought our 2mb unlimited package they took off the lower speed packages & made our package the standard package so they had to upgrade all the other users who wasnt on our package, to our package & im guessing there were quite a lot of ppl as my net started getting lower then a 512mb connection. even then my ping was through the roof! I couldnt play online gaming until it was 1am!!! the only time when i had my FULL connection & a stable ping. anyway this kept up for a good 6-8months when they finally decided to upgrade older contract members with a free 8mb upgrade which i have now & i have no complaints. Ive not yet seen my downloads reach 8mb but ive seen it go up to 6mb which is more then enough even though it aint full on 8Mb/ps. so long as they keep it like that i cant complain. but during the time ive been with my ISP they have been awarded SEVERAL online awards for giving a great retro 56k feel(no joke!)

ONLY!? 10Mbps upstream?? Well, looks like I have to find a way to take out the person who decided that we can live on 128kbps... and our down stream is like 7Mbps. Although they have brought out a plan that says you can have as fast internet connection as your line allows, but the line doesn't allow that much and it will depend on how many ppl is on line in your area and how far you are with your exchange. Not only that they limit your download speed if your data up/download exceeds 700MB a day. This country Suck big time!
