KDDIの新しい営業戦略

I think being Eigyou Man is hardest part of being in the work force. I believe I don't have what it takes to sell something to people in person like how Eigyou people do it @_@ I can never be a sales man!!!

Rahter than Eigyou Men selling products we have ladies and gentlemen coming to your doorstep trying to promote their prospective religion. Just yesterday 2 guys wanted to introduce the 'book of mormon' to me. Friendly guys but it's not my cup of tea to procure my religion like that so I did friendly 'mani atteimasu' them. I don't live in Utah btw., I heard that this specific book is popular or am I mistaken?.

Use 2Mb/s (bits not bytes; roughly translated to about 200 kBytes/s). Have to pay MYR 140 (around 3k++ yen) monthly, but shared the cost with other 2 people in the house.

Results on speedtest.net put my connection between 7 and 7.5mbps - and this is on the faster broadband network available in Australia. One of the joys of international travel for a lot of Australians seems to be getting to enjoy comparably blazing fast downloads from their hotel room. ^^;

Our government does have big plans for improving our connections with a brand new nation-wide network, but sadly they're also considering forcing a filter on us that will slow it right back down and block a lot more than just the genuinely block-worthy content.

My Internet speed isn't too bad considering that I'm in the UK and the average is 8Mb or less, I'm with BETHERE one of the few in the country to offer 24Mbit connections and I actually get that speed too because the exchange is just over the road so pretty happy considering I'm a UK user. :D

Here in Sweden I pay approx $40 for a 100/10 Mbit connection. It's a pretty decent deal.

Up to 25mbit for around 20 USD. Not to bad me thinks : p

I hit 26.66Mb/s over a cable modem connection. Not bad I suppose, but I have to pay almost $50/month.

Don't get many door to door sales people nowadays as most people just don't bother opening the door. Not even for cute girls ^^;

Mine is the worse download never more than 10kb/s and $30/month

omg she's cute!!

Oh Danny, they have found your weak spot....buy anything off a cute girl :P
Over here we're not harassed by door-to-door salespeople anymore....instead telemarketeers keep annoying you. So now we have a law that allows people to opt out of that too, which so far is very popular ^^

We pay about €50 for 20Mbit down/ 1MBit up.....I'm really envious of your connection.

kawaiiiiii *v*

Would have a 30Mbit line but only get 14Mbit out of it for around 45€/5820Yen/63USD per month(including phone and HD IP-TV).

He needz some Gatsby to look more agressive <3 *v*

24Mbit up / 1Mbit down and I pay 40€ per month but it includes unlimited calls to phones all over the world and Greece ofc and 60 minutes free calls at cellphones.

I think someone from KDDI reads dccom before sending some Eigyou Man to your house. heheh

I still envy your bandwidth for the price you're paying. I'm averaging 900-1.2mbps down and 500-600 up for $20 a month. too expensive IMO.

I literally dream of the day when my connection can be as fast as yours Danny.

Internet.. speed is 54Mbps but it's still slow (¬_¬)

I am paying ¥2400/月 but I have a bad connection!! not very satisfed from itscom..

[URL=http://www.speedtest.net][IMG]http://www.speedtest.net/result/689649557.png[/IMG][/URL]

Thats all folks!!!

Wow. I'm suprised at the speed of my connection. I thought it was faster than that... ^^; Anyhow, I hope no pretty ladies show up at my door anytime soon. It is definitely hard to say no.

internet speed (ADSL/cable) in singapore are generally pretty bad/expensive considering the offerings in S. Korea/Japan. I'm paying roughly 20 USD / month for a 3mbps line, ~ 300kb/s. We do have 12mbps to up to 100mbps lines available for you to subscribe, but you are lucky to get around half of that speed most of the time.

Some of our cable companies (green...) even throttle torrent speeds, not that I used them of course :)

I think one think you guys have to realise, is that speedtest.net is measured in Megabits per sec. Danny's poll is MegaBytes per sec ^-^;;;

using 1mbits/sec for USD35 per month.... bloody expensive and not consistent service.

The Eigyou Man we have over here aren't as nice as the ones you have there, they're quite over bearing and sometimes rude here :(
I envy Japan's internet, its so fast... My internets so slow, I can upload at about 30 kb/ps so when I have to upload photos it always takes a so long.

Mine's 10Mb. It's currently 9.92 right now: http://www.speedtest.net/result/689664026.png It's usually about 9.8-ish most of the time however. The upload speed is baaaaad though ^^;;). I think it's about GBP£12.50 a month, so pretty damn good, I think. ^^

Declared speed 20mbit dl and 1024kbit ul.
Never got past 1mbit dl and 100kbit ul.

But competitors are even worst. I feel like they are stealing from my pockets.

They look tired. Next time they won't look at all the dolls ;) Have been daughters shy? Or sabre-ing them?

My close bud Donny Choo is an Eigyou Hito himself... Rest assure it's not an easy job... ^^;

I also checked the connection speed....
DL 52.21
UL 47.86

it cost 40USD/month

I'm lucky if I hit just above 1Mb/s on DSL and yet pay over $50USD. There are only two providers here worth your time and one is the cable company that requires overly expensive package deals to get the fast connection AND not have a monthly cap, so i have to suffer with the slower DSL because having no cap is important to me. Living in Alaska sucks.

Wireless connection shared with 2 other computers
Dl: 9.27 mb/s
Up: 0.85 mb/s

hhahaa something is not right
around 40/50$ CAN

10mbit (up and down), around $25/month.

down: 9.5Mbps
up: 0.2Mbps
dl limit: 21GB
up limit: none

it's a sad sad world down here in the aussieland ㅎ_ㅎ - Aussie broadband SUCKS

OMG something's not right here!

DL: 0.31Mb/s
UL: 0.24Mb/s

Danny speed is amazing

21.4M dwn
4.4M up
_______
$52.95

I'm paying 50-70$ for an 1mb connection. I feel sad (v.v)

it hurts me when i talk about internet speed here.
i was supposed to get 1Mb/s with my package.
instead of 1Mb/s, i get

DL: 0.27Mb/s
UL: 0.30Mb/s

Roughly $30USD per month

I'm in university dorms and get my internet for free (or included in the very cheap rent, to look at things from another perspective).The downside to that is I have to share it with a lot of other people. In the mornings my internet speed is great, but in the evenings it's not so good.

Testing at 10pm: DL: 11.70 Mb/s and UL: 16.26 Mb/s

Tested a couple of months ago at about 9am: DL: 93.21 Mb/s and UL: 34.84 Mb/s

Quite a big difference!

Luckily I live in a Mansion type and most of the time during morning until afternoon I will not be at home unless it is on weekend so I don't know if they did come to my place or not. ^^;;

I haven't seen any religious groups wandering the neighborhood in a few years, they kept pestering me, the elderly couple across the street, a family across the street, and an emergency room specialist one house down.

Maybe they got scared off by the elderly woman with severe dementia, or they got scared off when I opened the door dressed as Master Chief from Halo when I was trying on a costume for a Halloween World of Darkness game as my character Victor "Halo Jerk" Hartman...

96 Mbps up 60 Mbps down.
Private line :D

2Mbps Down 512Mbps Up :S

i'm so jealous of japan.america has slow speed and expensive rates.i'm paying about $60 a month for about 5mb

is he japanese...? he looks more like southeast asian to me :3

T_T i'm in the bottom rung less than 512kb...

At the moment 48.0 Mbps on the speed.

We don't have much trouble with door to door sales folk now-a-days. I figure we live too far outside of town to warrant many visits.

My internet connection sucks too. T_T
1.39MB download
0.43Mb upload
wifi adapter
50 bucks for 8-10MB download sigh. Wired is ok, but wireless d/c like crazy.

Uhhh, from the picture i was expecting some article about a business drama or such considering how good they look. ^^;

Well, small DSL flatrate here (bout 300ish KB/s up and 900ish KB/s down) - 35eur per month, includes a phone landline flatrate.
Just living to far away from the next DSLAM or it would be a fe MBs. :/

Hardly ever someone is on my doorstep here, except the mail dudes with the figmas and other toys. ^^v

That speed test makes me want to kill my internet. (T_T)
DL 9.66 Mb/s
UL 3.83 Mb/s
Paying around 30+ USD for my connection, it's bundled with my cable so I'd have to find a bill to tell exactly how much is just for internet. =/

I really admire you that are using a 100Mbps connection in Japan while paying 6000 yen but in where I live you'll only get a 4Mbps with that money.

I'm just using a 1 MB connection and I want to scream! due to lousy service.

I'm told my internet connection should be about 512k but I'm getting a little over 1MB. This has surprised me a lot. I pay it inclusive in the rent so I'm not sure how much I pay.
I cry looking at the speeds others get around the globe.

it was a good strategy, to use bijo and ikemen.
Currently using 1mb line, the current speed is 0.83Mb/s (not the best speed).
Wish to has a speed of 56Mb/s, still far far away to reach this speed....

Ack...the speed cannot be compared to Danny's....

Waah, wish there were cute (business) girls knocking on my door. Being in Sweden, we don't get much knocking on doors except Jehova's Witnesses or young football teams selling cookies.

My internet connection is also fiber, with the "official" sale figure being 100Mb/s down and 10Mb/s up for 4000 yen/month (320SEK or $44). Took me 8 minutes to download the Victoria's Secret fashionshow (720p 1.1Gb size).

Probably no one except friends/relatives knock on the doors of my house. And telemarketers are blocked :) Had some kids selling magazines over but they were from the neighborhood and left as fast as I told them to leave.

As for the connection I'm gonna upgrading it to 24Mb/s soon but right now I pay for 8Mb/s and get 6.75Mb/s Down and 0.66Mb/s up. Would love to get fiber cable connection but installing the cable costs too much. >.< Would totally get a 100Mb/s then. :3

i'm paying about US$60 for my 10M connection. it's pretty expensive by singapore standards, considering how wages in singapore are low compared to many developed countries, purchasing power parity etc. but the 2 year contract included a macbook. over the duration of the contract, it will cost me a total of about US$500 more than if i had signed the plan without the MB (which would have resulted in a cheaper subscription). never looked back

The last time I open the door by accident was to two elderly priest trying to encourage people to read the bible ^^;; I turned them down politely luckily they were not pushy :P at our last place we had that too, and someone who claim himself as real estate agent. ^^;; the boy up there is ikemen indeed lol!

About 1.06 Download & 0.45 Upload.

Seriously Danny. Your internet connection is pure awesome.

Internet in my hometown is crap I need to woke at 4am to gain speed ;_;

My internets is free here at the Apple Store with the fast connection!

upload .54 - download 1.75. we are in a remote mountain valley, so I won't complain. Cost: 80 USD per month., service is excellent however.the telly also is bundled on the cable with the option of phone service as well - considering adding the phone app.

So... door to door salesmen/women?
I'll admit I hate them, but if it was a cute girl like that I'd be WAY less angry... xD
Reminds me of Monty Python -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-lSLzYKVd2s

About my connection, I'm currently among the unfortunate ones with lower than 1Mb speed paying over 100 bucks for it.

Yep, Brazil sucks. You pay too much for a low speed, and usually the real speeds are even lower than promised.

Currently got 50Mb down and I think 1Mb up for £28, first net service I've used where I've actually got what I'm paying for; used to have BT 8Mb and that would max out at 4Mb, this one I tend to be around 48-49Mb ^^

Only salespeople I've seen over here are grumpy fella's trying to get us to switch gas or electricity suppliers... I guess they can't employ cute girls or the government would have something to say about them discriminating ¬_¬

Danny, I love the whole 'reverse-sell' you did on them telling them about dc.com. That's a sweet move. :)

Surfnet in NL is great: 100 MB up and down for 17,50 Euros month

Dan, wanted to ask if you have plans (or dream) of bringing you company public and by when?

i wish i had optical fiber or cable

DSL is slow and expensive

hopefully, it's triple play (DSL + TV + unlimited national calls)

I don't pay that much for my Internet since I got a plan with my phone and Internet which isn't that bad.

lol hi from Canada

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y125/DemiSouls/wtf.jpg

Man I wish I could pay for a fiber line for 66 usd a month... <sniffle>

I'm upgrading to about 50mb soon :D
though we are dropping some of the tv channels, including sports D:

100mb/s down 5mb/s line from Shaw for $150CAD per month. Why can't they give us a better upload over here D:

13.12Mb/s Down
0.96Mb/s Up
Around $40USD a month

Most expensive Internet in the world Belgium !!!
no unlimited bandwidth each month
buy extra volume cost 1-2 EURO each 1 GB

At campus I get 13MB but at home I only have 512k...well almost always.(T_T)

Hm, we have a 24mb(down)/1mb(up)DSL here. It works Decently I guess. I've never gotten close to actually having 24 mb downloads though. Mostly the fault of the web pages I'm loading from though I reckon. When I take something from a major company site it's blazing down to my HDD. It's kind of pricy though as we have one of the more pricy (but much more stable connections and less downtime) ISP's.

As for door knockers...

Well, I do get the occasional overly rude Jehova man whom insults me on every visit while i try to shoo him off in a good manner (while withholding my inner wish to stuff his nostrils with nendoroids.)
Sometimes I get two Jehovas ladies though. They are both really sweet and if I can, I spare some time for them even if I personally think their religion is of the hook.

We used to have a lot of door to door sellers like 5-8 years ago. But lately It's really died down. You almost get a bit chocked when one turns up now.(living in northern Sweden at least.)

1.03Mbps d/l
0.38Mbps u/l
and the bill is ~20USD/month

Sigh.. I can't wait for my 2 year contract to end. I'd definitely wouldn't mind paying 3 times as much per month to boost my d/l speed 55 times.

waa I am paying the same as danny choo and I only have 2000 kb/S download and 512 kb/s upload

Looks do sell I suppose.
I currently have a 10MB internet plan at my apartment but we pay $80 because it's a cable/internet package so I don't know how much the internet is alone.

The only people we've got knocking on our door are Jehovah's Witnesses. I respect a person's beliefs but it's not too pleasant to have a religion shoved into my face ^^;

"55 MB/S"

Dear god that's fast.

http://www.speedtest.net/result/690370314.png Go MQ! Pity this is my work internet - it would be wrong to DL non-work related stuff on it.

Last time I did the speed test at home I nearly cried - ADSL2+ but it chugs along compared to the internet connections I've used in Japan and Korea. Costs $AU80 a month for 100GB of downloads plus VoiP phone access with free local and national calls. Not bad, by Aussie standards, but pathetic compared with other countries.

Only door to door we get in my neighborhood is the school kids selling chocolate for fund raising...I pay about $25 for decent speeds...

commufa エコノミ

I used to be with NTT but then commufa came to my door with a cheaper and faster option so I switched.

We have a 10/1 MB line here. Shell out a total of ~$130 USD for digital cable TV and internet. We have Charter,

Thanks for the Speedtest link Danny,

I've done the testing from that "speedtest.net" ... and the result is as below;

Download Speed = 0.56 Mb/s
Upload Speed = 0.34 Mb/s
Ping = 260 ms

I don't know how long it will take till the ISP and TelCos in South East Asia can reach the level that they already have now in Japan.... probably another 20 years or maybe it will never happen at all...

I wouldn't have fallen for that one. The guy isn't handsome enough for me to stop from closing the door on his nose. The idea's a good start, though.
My Internet connection is lazy. Sometimes, if I make it work just a little every now and then, the download speed can rise to up to 60mb/sec for a few minutes. That makes it awesome.

@DannyChoo

@DannyChoo
Sorry for the double post, my computer froze over on me, for a second and then somehow.. I managed to just post the above line of text..

Anyways, awesome speed you have going on there. I have only have 6Mbs Down and 1 Mbs up...

Fastest I can afford...

If I had the cash I would have a business class internet. amwahwaw! (If it were not for fantasy/dream land I would lose it)

We basically have 2 Internet provider, so I got one 6mbps for 45 dollars... ^^

Internet sucks here in Brazil. I pay about 57 dollars for a 2.72Mb/s download speed. It's absurd.

I'm using a 5mbps DSL line in the office (that's considered fast here), and it costs a little over 100usd a month. sure wish speeds were faster in my neck of the woods.
by the way, what does Ike in Ikemen [イケメン] stand for?

In an alternative universe this will be DannyChoo!!! http://corcholat.com/uploads/img/burlesque_star_wars_nsfw_cZg_wide.jpg

Currently on a ~5.5Mbps @ $35 a month
Wish it was higher of course. Can never have enough speeds.

Can't imagine how some ppl still use 56k oO

Thanks for the Japanese lesson.
I always thought that 間に合っています means something like "I can make it (on time)", but didn't know there is an other usage.

I love this jacket. I want one.

At least they showed up in person.
I hate telemarketers who try to sell insurance. Not that I hate the person, but I hate the idea of selling thru phone. You might miss some clause and you gonna get in trouble when the contract came.
I blame the creditcard company for selling my info (╬ ಠ益ಠ) RAGE

That's such a fast internet connection for that price. United States needs to pick it up. Damn AT&T and Comcast...

Not much door to door sales in my part of the US and the few you do see are most likely over priced or a scam.

Omg she almost looks like my Japanese teacher... who is also cute :D

I'm using a 25Mpbs internet service), is it fast and cheap enough ?

The test result of Hong Kong's ISP:
http://www.speedtest.net/result/690787834.png
Cost hk$99 per month(about US$12.5).XDD

and yes we do have those Eigyou Man here too, lost of them almost all of services/products that you can think of

those are great upload speeds!

I live in an apartment so I'm on a shared pipe with hikari, even though we don't share the bills. When it gets busy, my speed drops tremendously.

do you have NGN, NeXT or whatever the new IPv6 network is called? I'm wondering if it's faster.

I'm paying about $50 a month for my service.

I agree the guy is rather handsome. Lol.

In Spain we don't really have that "door to door salesman" problem, we're all way to laid-back for that kind of job here, hahaha.

Also, what's it like having such a fast internet connection?
I, unfortunately, only have a 6Mb download speed and I'm paying about 70 - 80 euros a month for it. T_T (That's about $115 or ¥10000 a month. Cheap, huh? That's Spain for ya!!)

Jesus Christ, that's one fast connection you got there, Danny. My maximum is 320kb/s downstream and 30kb/s upstream. Paying approx $20 per month.

Japanese has only 1 business color - Black, head to toe. So boring

Here where I'm living the internet connection is fast and cheap, I pay 9 USD for 40Mb connection
the only downside is the upload speed which is pretty low.
http://www.speedtest.net/result/691493657.png

My wires can only handle 1.25MB down...I live in a 1950s-vintage apartment building and the wiring is positively JURASSIC. I get my DSL from DSLExtreme here in LA but my "last mile" is handled by Verizon. We are NOT getting FiOS anytime soon around here...dammit. My connection is 1MB down 384Kbps up and about $20. Which is a good deal for LA.

33 Mb/s Down and a pitiful 2 Mb/s Up @ Time Warner/Road Runner cable

Currently satisfied, but contemplating a move to FiOS for some fiber cable action. ^.^

When sales people visit the company I work for there's usually one kareishu-smelling salaryman and a cute female shinnyushain. Great for the guy; terrible for the poor girl!

I pay around 75 bucks.

8meg, unlmited bandwidth @ £16 a month.
... Or at least that's what we should be getting. Thanks to maggie thatcher, we only get 2meg.

Your internet speed completely dominates mines. Fortunately, I was able to optimize the router to make the most of the internet. Now if only all the computers in my network ran on the Draft-N standard.

1Mbps bandwidth (approx. 700Kbps throughput) at approx USD 60 monthly is a pain in the butt

Hmmm, pay about the same price. I had read about the differences in broadband offerings between Japan and US. First time seeing a speedtest result. Really a bummer...

http://www.speedtest.net/result/692893631.png

D 10Mbit U 1Mbit here Unlimited. Kinda giving me loads of problems now... If i used my IPPhone, my pages will not load ^^; (Red...)

38 MBps slow! outrageous.

I almost signed on as one of these over the summer, selling CutCo Knives. I got lazy, so instead of signing on, I just watched anime over the summer.

Cold calling is like being in the line of fire in a huge war battle gone terribly wrong. Most small businesses I've done involve cold calling. It's why I've never built myself into a large business concern. I plod through a few months, and throw in the towel. Good businesses. Quality products. Weak spine.

DC, you're just a pushover for a pretty face. LOL

Currently I got 8Mbps, but I will get in couple months 35Mbps, and perhaps even 100Mbps around Q3.

Oh yeah! イケメン！！

One of the most brilliant phrases I'v red on a T-shirt is "Black is the new Black!"... and here's our proof =)))

I can imagine these two walking on their way to the next victim's house with a realistic "just doing my job" face and the theme music from "Get Smart" (I hope you saw...) is playing in the background... No one can resist the charm, extremely dangerous!

http://www.speedtest.net/result/705656244.png

for mine. It's more than enough for me. I am paying abt $60 per month too :)
