Those Fast Japanese!

The Washington Post:

Americans invented the Internet, but the Japanese are running away with it.

Broadband service here is eight to 30 times as fast as in the United States -- and considerably cheaper. Japan has the world's fastest Internet connections, delivering more data at a lower cost than anywhere else, recent studies show.

Charles Johnson:

The Japanese are getting download speeds of 61 mbps over fiber optic cable.

Damn. Imagine how much por-, er, music one could transfer with that.
