I've heard that the government in Japan have considered it
very important that all it's citizens should have not just internet
access but broadband access.
In your opinion is this the case?

I think the government has been helping broadband providers.

...Well, actually my result shows I need to reconfigure my home network to fully use the bandwidth potential(Fiber-to-the-home)

I'm about 3.5km away from the exchange so that is probably why mine is so slow?

Sometimes it fucks up too and I end up with about 56K speeds for a few days.

Although I'm moving in less than two weeks' time to a place with no 'phone line and thus no internets (unless I can leech some wireless).

Not bad, considering how far we are from the exchange.

Bit odd, I've had well over 7meg coming down with bit-torrenting before.
My connection seems to have slowed alot in the past week or so tho. Not sure why.. Maybe the shitness of pipex is finally seeping into Nildram
