- inactive, on 04/04/2008, -24/+240For what we've spent in Iraq, we could have gig-e to the curb of every house in America. I guess blowing up brown people on the other side of the world was more important. Glad to see we have our priorities straight.
- OmegaNine, on 04/04/2008, -2/+183In my wildest dreams. Are we sure this isn't a bad April Fools that came late?
- kupa, on 04/04/2008, -4/+144oh come on! now Malaysia has better isps then we do, wtf. verizon, please deliver fios unto thee soon :(
- pwnies, on 04/04/2008, -2/+142If you need me, I'll be crying in the corner whilst paying my $55/month bill for 2Mbps downstream. Call me when the US has better internets.
- Lucas123, on 04/04/2008, -0/+63Where do I sign?
- JMSantos, on 04/04/2008, -9/+69If I were to make a list of "Top 20" things the US could do with the money spent in Iraq, providing high speed internet for everyone wouldn't make the cut.
- KnifeOrSpoon, on 04/04/2008, -0/+48nope, there is a trial for this in Tasmania at the moment =) It is quite fast apparently
- future15tbd, on 04/04/2008, -0/+48Verizon and Comcast can't provide data streams that fast, because then they wouldn't be able to scan your packets fast enough to throttle your access when you use BitTorrent.
They also wouldn't be able to pass the information on to the NSA or the Justice Department to prevent you from carrying out that terrorist attack you were planning and stop you in the act! - jp12380, on 04/04/2008, -32/+73What a ripoff!
- advertboy2007, on 04/04/2008, -1/+41is this for real?
- inactive, on 04/04/2008, -7/+47$1.58 is a lot more in Malaysia, but still...
- benplaut, on 04/05/2008, -0/+39$11/hour to pay a sherpa to hand carry 5.25" floppys to the ISP and back. Kids these days!
- HonoredMule, on 04/05/2008, -0/+29Hey, when did nearly-terrabyte ethernet come out? I thought we had only recently gotten gigabit ethernet.
- jasdf, on 04/05/2008, -0/+29Dugg for saying "nearly".
- inactive, on 04/04/2008, -5/+32I'd put it at about #8.
- trogdor282, on 04/04/2008, -0/+25In the dream he's downloading Backdoor Sluts 9.
- CrackyJSquirrel, on 04/04/2008, -0/+23If it were comcast, they would advertise 224Mbps and deliver 782Kbps...
- BarryChuckle, on 04/04/2008, -0/+21wow, with the current US exchange rate, That's a steal!
- jingwei, on 04/04/2008, -0/+20“This project will offer 60 million users unlimited high speed Internet connection of 224Mbps (megabits per second) at a cost of only around RM5 (US$1.58) per user per month, which is the fastest and cheapest in the world,” he said.
I'm just too skeptical. It's like he's saying 224mbs is shared among 60 million users at RM5 a month.
I remain skeptical until I try it. - praisethelard, on 06/06/2008, -0/+20That's what she said.
- rlbond86, on 04/05/2008, -3/+21I like how nobody on digg understands sarcasm. I would digg you up 100 times if I could.
- fuckingusername, on 04/04/2008, -1/+19Ill be dead before it gets to the USA , their are people here that only have dail up cause the rich bastards don't want to spend money to run lines..
- aussieNickuss, on 04/05/2008, -0/+17$99/month for 1.5Mbit here. Count yourself lucky!!!
- MasterThief117, on 04/05/2008, -1/+17THEY'RE CHARGIN' MALAYSIA great prices for Internet.
- spanglegluppet, on 04/04/2008, -0/+16What? I'm Tasmanian. Give me details about this. Now. Telstra sucks.
- handler, on 04/04/2008, -0/+15Cya guys in Malaysia.
- TomatoMan, on 04/04/2008, -0/+15Do the math, folks: that's less than ONE PENNY PER MEGABIT, PER MONTH. My 8mb Comcast connection would be about 5c/month at that rate, instead of the $60 or whatever I currently pay. So we pay about 30 times as much for 1/30 of the bandwidth.
I hope Malaysians feel the same pity for us poor westerners now as we used to feel for them.
Proud of yourselves, Comcast/Verizon/AT&T? - elfprince13, on 04/04/2008, -1/+16did you really have to ask that?
- DigDugDigger, on 04/05/2008, -1/+16"If I were to make a list of "Top 20" things the US could do with the money spent in Iraq..."
I'd digg the story. Plz don't use Wordpress, though. - wordsofwisedumb, on 04/05/2008, -0/+15In the dream he's done.
- theaceoffire, on 04/05/2008, -0/+14How come even our biggest cities can't even get consistent, fast coverage?
How can Canada, which is even LESS dense population wise than us, be faster, cheaper, and with more options?
There is more going on than just the number of people per square mile my friend. - GawtMilk, on 04/05/2008, -0/+14You will
- pakakapa, on 04/04/2008, -1/+15WHA? PLEASE SPEAK LOUDER I CAN'T HEAR YOU
- mehan, on 04/04/2008, -0/+14you'd think the U.S. wouldn't be so far behind in terms of the internets, considering that's where the ***** was invented...
- martinherrera, on 04/04/2008, -8/+22that's not fast....
this is fast
http://www.thelocal.se/7869/20070712/ - m0tbaillie, on 04/05/2008, -2/+15Considering the fact that the US - one of the most developed nations in the world - only falls in the middle of the road in terms of our overall country-wide broadband penetration, I'd say it most definitely should be a priority.
- movd, on 04/04/2008, -0/+13same with me in germany! down the street they get 16mbps but i still only get 2mbps ....
- jp12380, on 04/04/2008, -1/+14LOL, I thought the folks at digg appreciated sarcasm but I guess not.
- Nudar, on 04/05/2008, -1/+12The trick is that all 60 million users are sharing the same 224 Mbps connection.
- Niightwitch, on 04/04/2008, -0/+11I'd send emails real, real fast.
- CIAVT, on 04/04/2008, -2/+12Maybe in 20 years it will be considered as such.
- karl722, on 04/04/2008, -2/+12The current implementations of BPL are a bad idea. They interfere with many other devices and what's worse, at frequencies this low the interference can travel worldwide.
- heypetray, on 04/04/2008, -0/+10f'real.
- cyantist, on 04/05/2008, -0/+10Caps Lock. F U too.
- zgf2022, on 04/05/2008, -0/+9try $65 for 768k down. that should cheer you up. (Rural east texas)
- inactive, on 04/05/2008, -0/+9Download all the pron in the world.
- Mutton, on 04/04/2008, -0/+9Hi, I'm American telecoms! Wage fixing and complacency > innovation. Wheeee!
- theaceoffire, on 04/05/2008, -0/+9If they charged $100 that is STILL a better deal than comcasts $150 for 50MB.
- arcticblue, on 04/05/2008, -0/+9"I hate to break this to you, but your life is SAD if you spend more than an hour online every day, outside of any work. THAT is why most people don't want it."
I'm assuming you live in the states and if that's true, you're sitting at home on a Friday night telling people on Digg they have a sad life. Wow...
I honestly didn't know how big of a troll you are until I saw this: http://digg.com/odd_stuff/Bingobongony_Trolls_all_ ... . You seriously have problems. - craterburnsu, on 04/04/2008, -0/+9the same way i use 3, but faster.
