Japan's J:Com provides broadband service upgrades at bargain basement prices
Brandon Hill, DailyTech, April 5, 2009
Last week, DailyTech brought you news that Time Warner Cable (TWC) is extending its metered internet service to markets in Austin, San Antonio, Rochester, and Greensboro. TWC is choking customers' monthly bandwidth to 5GB, 10GB, 20GB, and 40GB at prices ranging from $29.95 to $54.95 per month.
The highest priced tier, 40GB/$54.95, offers customers download speeds of 16 Mbps.
Over in Japan, however, customers are seeing download speeds ten times that limit at comparable prices. According to a recent article from the New York Times, J:Com -- Japan's largest cable provider -- is touting its 160 Mbps consumer broadband service. The interesting piece of information to take away is that J:Com's cost to upgrade its systems to handle the 160 Mbps speeds was just $20 per household.
