That 100Mbs Internet Speed in Korea?

whoa.. sir yuga. thats really cool. i wish we have that internetspeed here in pinas. i’m sure i’ll be downloading all the movies that i wanna watch.

not satisfied, pfftt :)
im sure there are reasons the real speed cant be achieved. anyway talk about the apps of high speed broad band that they use there compared to here.

bakit ba laging deprived ang mga tulad nating pinoy sa ganyan dito mismo sa ating sariling bansa? halatang huli na tayo. tsk tsk tsk!

is that direct download or p2p?

hi sir. hope you’re enjoying your stay in Korea.

Too bad you got a slower connection. You might be connected to an older line with lower speed. In our house (just outside Seoul), I’ve never tested but I could download a movie in 3-4 mins.
And yeah, the real name verification thing is annoying but there’s really an easy way to get around it.
Take care. ^^

Probably the ISP was just having some problems. Here in our hospital in Gangnam, Seoul, my download rate reaches around 60-70MB/sec. However, typical cable internet speeds for residental lines is about 10mb/sec. KT has a FiTH (Fiber to Home) service that is 100mb/sec but I have not experience with them. Internet access is free in most coffee shops however foreigners might need to input their ARC numbers.

I thought Youtube’s Korean restriction only applied to accounts not made in Korea

[quote]Korean reactions to the changes made by YouTube have been mostly indifferent. Google itself publicized a workaround where a Korean user could switch their preference setting to a country other than Korea, bypassing the limits set within the Korean site.

Also, Koreans accessing the site outside of Korea and non-Koreans (assuming they do not use the Korean language version) living in Korea have not been affected.

Internet speed is real time indicator on how far a country had gone so far. Philippines and South Korea are at same level technologically several decades ago. However, unlike us Filipinos, South Koreans are very nationalistic people. They actually learned technical know how from the Americans. Just like the Japanese,Chinese and Taiwanese, they applied their knowledge got from the States to their own country while we Filipinos did not adapt Americans technology but instead adapted other aspects like fashion and consumerism. As a result, we are just consumers of Korean, Japanese, Chinese & Taiwanese made products.

Wish those speeds were available here in the Philippines at much affordable rates.

I’m not sure how valid you test is given its from your location to an Industrial city in Northern China. I’m sure the ISP might be ok at ensuring that there 100Mbps between your location and them, and maybe a lot of Korea. But I’d imagine they would have a few more issues ensuring the connection over the border and up to Changchun was all good.

hahah.parang globe lines ah lolz

Nakadismaya talaga ang internet connection speed dito sa Pinas. Gusto lang nila kumita ng pera but giving us very bad service.

May bayandsl din sa province yung nga lang location location location! hehe

pag puro tagalog na ang mga website na gusto nating puntahan at puro dito na hosted ang mga websites at lahat ng telco interconnected at wala tayong pakialam sa mga content ng mga nasa US, magiging sobrang mura na ng 100Mbps internet connection din dito sa pinas.

pero hanggang nasa labas ng bansa ang mga content na gusto ng mga pinoy at mga website ng pinoy ay naka host sa ibang bansa at dependent tayo sa mga international submarine systems sobra, nde magmumura ang internet dito sa pilipinas.

you’re getting that speed maybe because whoever you are downloading that speedtest from doenst have a pipe big enough to fill in your speed. its difficult to fill up a pipe that large. i suggest you try to download ubuntu via torrent (ive always used it as a method to fully see the capable speed under the best conditions)

wow ang mahal nmn pala per day e, kya mabilis talaga.

Using speedtest.net to measure your connection, not getting what you expected, and concluding that advertised speeds must be false isn’t very scientific. In addition, advertised speeds are never to the “internet”, but to the first hop. Speeds on the wider network may also not be optimal. How large is the pipe that you are downloading from? If they can only fill 50mbits, then you will never get 100mbits. The only realistic way to test your speed is to make sure you are routed to a server that can handle that kind of traffic and that every network, router, etc. on the way to that server cooperates … which is why any commercial telecommunications company has SLAs.

meron d2 100mbps 13k

Aside from the generalized commercialism reason of why the internet speed and prices here are way beyond ROK, could it also be because of our geographic situation, being an archipelago and all? Would that account to anything? Aside from, of course,PH is considered as a developing country compared to them..?

Just wondering too why such big difference in net speed. :(

see the difference from this interesting FREE speedo tests to external servers http://bit.ly/sptester

Philippines, Technology News & Reviews was hugely illuminating cheers, I reckon your audience would possibly desire much more items similar to this. Keep the articles being published. As the man said I will be back.

I also live in Korea (and have for some time) my 100Mbps (fibre in my entire apartment complex)connection runs me around 25,000 Won a month (about $23 USD) and I normally get 90+ on downloads from servers located inside of South Korea, but results vary dramatically when DLing from the US or Europe of course.
