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?
