Broadband sucks Clarification: Broadband sucks in the U.S. I don't know what the excuses are but people in Japan sure have it a lot better than us. When I was still lucky enough to be living in Japan I had an 8Mbit ADSL connection for about $30 per month, and I could download pages faster over there than on my cable modem in Rhode Island. Now, NTT, and I'm sure others, offer 40Mbit ADSL for under 5000yen or about $50. Something is screwed up over here.
