Powercomm Offers 100Mbps Internet Service in Korea
In South Korea some lucky Powercomm customers can purchase 100Mbps internet service for only US$30 (30,800 Won)! With Charter Broadband service I’m lucky to get 1mbps for the $29.99 that I am charged monthly. Hopefully sometime in the near future we will see the American Broadband companies catch up to what can be had in other countries.
Under the banner of “Xpeed,?? Powercomm now offers a 100Mbps service in apartments with optical local area network (LAN) and a slower 10Mbps in houses. The optical LAN-based speed of 100Mbps is like lightning, enabling customers to download a two-hour high-definition video file in less than 5 minutes. With a current 10Mbps-class connection, the video download would take more than 30 minutes. Powercomm insists the new high-speed Internet service will make a splash in the market because it will retail at a price lower than the 4Mbps feature of other broadband operators such as KT and Hanaro Telecom. The carrier will charge 30,800 won a month for the 100Mbps service while other operators charge monthly fees of more than 31,000 won for 4Mbps Internet connectivity.
