The current internet speeds they have are simply great. Some of my friend’s pay less than $20 a month. 1GBPS would be too good. They’ll be able to watch super-hd videos without streaming.

I’m not sure who is behind the development and distribution of broadband speed in Korea, but I’m guessing there is more push from the Korean government (and assistance) than could ever be imagined here. US and Canadian commissions are regulatory, taxing a product that is almost entirely determined by private enterprise. We talk about freedoms a lot here, but still end up paying a lot more for a lot less than more regemented, yet “nation focused” countries. Hence the embarrassment of living in the best countries in the world, yet receiving second-rate services, such as broadband. Oh, the irony!

Where I live, the highest I can get is 25meg for $123 a month! That’s too pricey for little service speed. How much are the Korean’s paying for their 100meg?

Basically this means the internet is for everyone, but companies like At&T are going to block all other sites that they don’t want you to see. For example if there is a blog about how corrupt At&T is, it will be blocked and the only way you will see it, is if you pay At&T 10-15$. You haven’t seen any censoring yet.

Sorry buddy South Korea has the fastest internet connection in the world currently. I doubt Hong Kong has a 1Gbps connection. If anything you’re probably talking about LAN speed which is more than likely possible. Internet speed of 1Gbps is a whole other story.

Sorry buddy South Korea has the fastest internet connections world wide. I doubt Hong Kong is getting 1 Gbps. You’re probably talking about LAN speeds. For LAN that is more than possible. Internet is a whole different story.
