I stumbled across this old news story at c|net news, which has me gasping for breath & making me jealous of South Koreans. How I got to this news story isn’t important, but this news story is. 😀
As per this news story at c|net news, on an average, the Internet Connection speed in South Korea is 8 megabits per second, in short, its 8Mbps. 😯 :dizzy: Its 8 times more than what broadband users get in US, states the news story. 😕 Seems like the americans reading this or those aware of this fact might think that their connection which they thought was broadband, is just infact a narrow, a much narrow band. 😀
And me, sitting with my dumb 64Kbps connection, all I can do is envy the South Koreans. Or should I look for a job in Seoul, so that I can shift to South Korea? 😉
Yeah, it is nice with some real speed, in Sweden we seem to have about the same line up as Korea. 8Mbit seems to getting quite common thrue ADLS 2 and VDSL. I am even a more lucky bastard having a 20Mbit / 10Mbit line with a static IP and paying about 50$ a month for this.
So if you do not want to move to Korea, you can move to Sweden instead 😉
20Mbit/10Mbit line for $50 bucks!! 😯 You really are a lucky bastard. 😀 I pay roughly $22/month for the darn 64Kbps line & its not always 64Kbps. In the last week of the month, its not more 40-42Kbps. 😥
Umm, yeah, you’ve given me another destination to think about. 😉 But I’ve heard that Sweden is a very cold place but the gals are nice. 😐 Is that so? 😀
