Beats the heck out of that US dsl crap...

I'm getting ~1Mb/s from my desktop to to the dsl modem in my room in a $46 a night japanese style guest house.... I don't even have a private bathroom but the bits are flowing... rtt is 147ms which would be sort of borderline for halflife or ut2004, for a few movies I didn't have time to watch on the otherhand...

Anyway just a plug for the previously linked to sawanoya ryokan. now that I'm here it's a little spartan and you'll have book fairly fair in advance to get one of the two rooms with a private bath. but it has real ofuro, the ip connectivity is good and it's in a quiet funky residential neighborhood. The place I stayed in Tokyo on the last two trips is around 20 blocks away.
