What's really disturbing is that when I was in Japan six 1/2 years ago, they were paying more than we were for ISDN. And ISDN here wasn't exactly cheap. So in six years they've managed to come from low 'net usage via dialup and expensive ISDN to affordable, flat-rate 100Mb/s FTTP. We don't even have that in the CBDs of our largest cities!

While we debate the merits (?) of DSL connectivity and how to handle modem pools here's an example of a service available in Japan. The last couple of pictures tell the story!
Got my 100Mb fiber optic installed yesterday...the connection is humming. I found the whole process very interesting and think that it is just amazing. The actual fiber is thinner than a human hair and its just fantastic. free install, free for two months, unlimited traffic and no more than $100 NZD/month.
I am one happy man : )
