Hong Kong broadband humbles US hack

WANT A GOOD REASON to move to Hong Kong? How does 1GBps home Internet access for $215 a month sound? Too spendy for you? Then how about 100MBps for $34, or 10MBps for $16? I want to thank Hong Kong Broadband Network for making me feel inadequate with my mere 5MBps cable connection for vastly more than $16 a month.

I would also like to thank the US government for putting us behind Uganda and the tribal regions of Pakistan in our forward looking broadband policy.

I, for example, live a little less than a block away from one of the seven Minneapolis telco COs, and the best I can get is cable.

SIGH. Read more about it here.µ
