Not suprising and did you know that internet connections in Japan put the rest of the worlds to shame. Over there it is truly highspeed. 10Mbps is considered low end compared to 6-8Mbps on the high end in the US and elsewhere. At least that's what I have read in my industry pubs.
Dunno why they wont ware so much :F
1/1/gbps is default stuff in Japan, same like 100/100/mbps is in Sweden. Costs like 15€ in a month... Duh... And there are pretty girls too :)
They seem to be low level pirates. Not even using torrents. But, I wonder what caused the surge?
It could be people using more proxies in Japan. Just a thought.
Knowing this is not going to stop the numbers.
Gee I thought WinMX had died !
Yes I believe that Japan and Korea have some of the fasted broadband in the world. Makes it easy to share. Here in NZ we have one of the slowest in the world.
I may be mistaken, but I'm almost sure the reason Sweeden has an affordable broadband is because the goverment subsidizes it. That is a big NoNo in the US, where corporate greed has deep roots in Congress.
