This is frigging hilarious, but also sad at the same time since Japan gets their godly interweb for free...
But it's a government program so it may be free but it's not free market
and therefore it probably has hidden economic drawbacks like wholesale babyslaughter and the emperor of Japan just shows up in your house and kicks you off the computer to chat up myspace whores whenever he feels like it.

yeah, being forced to go to a good highschool instead of living in slums where teachers don't give a **** sucks.
I mean like I have to study 10 hours a day during summer vacation which only lasts a month and a half. I'm trying to go to Keio highschool which is pretty famous, hard, and expensive.

Which sucks when you're going through it but you won't regret it for a moment afterwards. God, I wish I didn't have to go to a public school. Few teachers care, and virtually no students give a **** at all. I would've gladly studied ten hours per day during summer vacation to go to a better school.

So, how many people have AT&T U-Verse? I know it's faster than most Japanese internet.

It's because we are a lazy country. We really don't make anything ourselves. Not even toys; they're "Made in Mexico," or some other country.

Google said U-Verse was 10Mbps at the fastest...1/6th of the Japanese 60Mbps :ohwell:

And for anyone curious, Japan has faster internet because it's easier to provide fiber optic connections to 130 Million people when they're residing in an area the size of California as opposed to 300 Million people residing in the US, not because of technological superiority.

Fios

If you want fast and you've crazy rich and can afford a 100 dollars a month and if you live in the right area. The choice is defiantly fios from Verizon wireless.

It is a fiber optic connection and you can get speeds of up to 5O mbps which is crazy fast anyway here is a link Fios

It is defiantly one of the fastest Internet services available in America
