		jauer on Oct 3, 2011 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: What it costs to live in Japan That speedtest is interesting considering popular conception of Japanese FTTH speeds. Under 10 Meg download for over $60 per month? Where's the 100Meg for $20 or whatever is usually mentioned in the "bash US broadband" articles?

What's funnier is that upload is twice that of download. You usually don't see the ratio's flipped like that!

I can only assume the speeds he is getting are a result of where he is living. For a similar price I get ~95/50 in Tokyo: http://www.speedtest.net/result/1515164158.png
