    How about 1Gbps - Symmetric!

    Costing the equivalent of £112 sterling.

    NB: Requires you to live in hong kong ;)

    Just thinking about how much it would cost to get 1Gbps here.......

    It would be cheaper and easier to move to Hong Kong :D

    It would be cheaper and easier to move Hong Kong here for that price :D

    does Ireland have 1GB backbone at all?

    Yes, yes we do.
    And 2.5Gbps
    And I'm pretty sure there's some fibre being run at 10GBps around the country too, if only in testing.
    40GBps is the next step up.

    If we had FTTH we could all have nice connections, even if the upstream contention to the rest of the net was a bit high, connections to Irish nodes would cost relatively little.

    That 1Gb only applies to people inside Hong Kongs infastructure, as soon as you leave their part of the internet, it plummets down.

    Interesting for a P2P network inside HK though.
