[TR] Kim Dotcom offers free internet with own submarine cable - Page 6

post #51 of 60
I guess I'm happy I live in Europe, the Atlantic cable must get a lot of maintenance and we in the North have fast connections. I get unlimited and unthrottled 100 Mbit/s both up and down for ~40€ a month. smile.gif

Sweden should be the hub of the internet.
Here its £24/month for 50mbit down and 5mbit up... unlimited but throttled before 9PM if the usage gets too high (rarely).

This is a fiber loop between NZ, USA, and Japan I believe. A direct run from NZ to USA would be a little over 7,000 miles to LA area, and a little over 9,000 miles to Seattle area, depending on the actual route taken.

As for those commenting on funding...

I believe there was mention of outside investors having interest in this project, who knows.

Yeah the pacific fibre project was oringaly supposed to do this and it had sponsors form the government, telecom among others but it never got quiet enough money for it to get going and Kim is hoping to restart this.

an earlier post said that we should expect 250-300 ms of ping but we already have 300-400 ms?

Yes it would be.

But fiber cables already circle the global. This would be just another route.

I get a steady ~180-200ms in WoW connecting to US West Coast servers, those servers have been specifically located there for Aus/NZ players.

Dunno about other games.
