Internet in Asia ROCKS joshuak December 31 2004, 03:57:56 UTC

Consumer Internet connections in Asia beat the hell out of anything you can get in North America. Back when I lived in HK, it was about HK$200/mo (= US$25) for a 3mbit/512kbit line. I pay US$50/mo now for 1.5mbit/384kbit. What the hell is that? :/

Many commodities are very cheap here. But many people that I'm visiting don't seem to have Internet connexions at home. Right now, I'm sitting at an aunt's place using theirs.
