    I live in Brazil, have a 6Mbps connection which hardly ever reaches 2Mbps, and I'm an exception since most people are still on 1Mbps... so I can't even express how envious I am...
    But that's how things are around these parts. Law doesn't enforce ISPs to give us the speeds they put on their ads, the prices are absurdly expensive, and having a Smartphone here is something to ponder a lot since Internet rates for cellphones is a luxury most people can't pay.
    Not long ago we had a major ISP crashing down (fortunately not mine) leaving hundreds of thousands of costumers (including public services) offline for an entire day leaving damages of over a million bucks and still nothing much was done...

    LOL There is no "might already have" it's a fact, and more importantly... it's fast.

    Bastardized spanish? shut up.

    I'm from the Azores, and we will eventually get this, but not in a near future. The first place to have this services first is Lisbon, the capital city. But well, our name is in the site, i'm happy. And i have no use for such speeds.

    Are you sure that its the Azores that have this, or the mainland (i.e. Lisbon)? Because the Azores (White dot) are pretty fucking far, actually.

    I think you should go back to elementary school.
    In Portugal we speak portuguese not spanish. Portugal is an independent country since de 12th century, and by the way, in Spain they dont speak spanish they speak "castelhano" their official language and other several languages as the catalão (Barcelona) o galego (in Galicia) and basco in (Basque country).
    Bye

    Japan has had gigabit for a while now. Nov. 2008 in Tokyo you could get it for about $55 US/month.

    It's Belkin... I'll be surprised if it works at all and downright floored if it performs anywhere near as advertised.


    I'll stick to my CAT5e.
