I’m sure we all “know” that internet in Japan must be hella fast – but how fast is it really? Well from the speed test results above, at least 50Mbit/s! This speed test was taken from the internet in my hotel room – but we’ve been told that lots of users in Japan city centers are running 1GBbit/s (125MB/s) lines! sheeeeet.

Imagine downloading a DVD movie (4.5GB) in roughly 30 seconds! That’s just ridiculous. I hear torrents are not as prevalent as it is in North America – which makes me wonder what all that speed is for. Anyway, I just got into Osaka – so I’m going to head out for some night life.
