South Korean ISP set to unveil 10Gbps fiber connection, 1GB download in less than a second

3.4Mbps Down 0.90Kbps Up. With the current exchange rate it's about $78 a month. Welcome to South Africa.
 
My Internet Speed is 1.5 MB Download While 1 MB Upload.. And its really shitty too:'(
 
While I currently don't have wired Internet Connection, I Just have my plan on Globe Telecom (Philippines) which I don't have a Data Cap. some postpaid users do have a Data cap.

Top Speed: 35Mbps Down

~$22 a month /Php 999

Philippines, globe telecom wimax original plan 768Kbps (free upgrade to 1Mbps, 'on certain hours of the day' boost up to 1.5Mbps or up to ~192KBps actual download speed),

for the past four years or so, globe telecom and its rival: pldt-smart telecom have laid underground cables along the national highway in my province. no word though if they are offering fiber internet in our very small town. fiber internet is already available at certain affluent residential neighborhoods in selected metropolitan areas.

same thing happened on our place but only Globe. Currently plan 2Mbps Php1099 on Globe Telecom, 1Mbps Wimax still at 999 :)
 
10 Mbps Data Upstream & Downstream (Unlimited)
+
IPTV
VoIP

Price per month,
51.96 US Dollar
 
I pay for 75 Mbps up & down, but most of the time the actual speeds are closer to 90 Mbps up / 80 Mbps down. If the prices were better, I would probably get the next step up of 150 Mbps up
& down. But I cant see paying what they are asking for that level.
 
1Gbps for 18$ in Romania, but it's worthless when you have to connect to the slow, bandwidth starved and lag infested servers from the US ^_^
 
I'm currently at 15/1 Mbps (D/U) for $40.

If I had access to fibber I would go for the 40/2 plan for $46 or the 80/4 for $50 =/
 
This is pretty damned impressive. South Korea continues to lead in broadband speeds while some ISPs stateside impose caps on their users.

4mbps download and 0.5mbps upload. Paying R800 a month uncapped. current exchange rate from rand to dollar is R11 for $1. That means $72.72 a month with a fair usage policy. Meaning it I use more than 150 gigs a month I will be throttled down really hard. That is the country I live in South Africa. Telkom has killed almost all its competition.

lol the reason for lag is because of your distance from the US servers not because the US server are crap. The rest I will agree with.

It's a sad state of affairs seeing we have a submarine cable landing on our shores but hey, someone's gotta pay for Nkandla and all the other monkey business that goes on. Fortunately I don't have it as bad as you portray yours to be, I Get 10mbps down and 5mbps up uncapped for R170 (~$15) p/m from my ISP, not stellar by any stretch of the imagination but not bad by our somewhat backward standards.
 
Then how would you explain the slow internet in big american cities like new york or chicago? Thats just a Bullshit excuse made by corporate shills.
