My parents pay for 6mbps dl/712mb UL comcast. It is $40 a month. Oh and I'm interested in seeing what people in japan pay for their internet, and what speeds. I heard that they have speeds comparable to the fastest fios at the same price the U.S people pay for DSL.

I live on a island and the closest city, MacDonalds, Theater or Walmart is a 1 hour drive away lol

but I still got high speed

What phone company do you have? Whichever phone company you have is the only DSL you could get. Unless you get dry loop which is very expensive.

Well, for downloading it is 3 Kbps.

For uploading, I have no idea. Probably not even 1 Kbps.

In South Korea there connection speed is 100 Mbps and that's considered normal

I have Verizon.

Whenever I check availability. It says "Our service is currently unavailabe at your phone numbers. We are continually expanding our area, so fill out the form for Future Notification."

It has been that way for months.

Soriku, I'm not trusting a 13 year old's word...

Well you should have a connection, and if not then you will never be able to get one unless you move closer to the um hub. YOu should be close enough though if you live in a suburb of philidelphia. Are you talking about FIOS or DSL"?

Both!

WRONG. There is always another choice.

Firstly, if you can get cable TV, you can get cable internet. And cable TV is available pretty stinking far out of the city.

And even if it's not, satellite internet is available anywhere in the world. All you need is a clear view of the sky in the direction the satellites are positioned.
