Japanese Fiber Optic Internet

fiber optic man

Danny Choo from DannyChoo.com tells us his experience about the new Fiber Optic/Optic Fiber/Optic Fibre Connection he recently bought.

Some of his reasons are:

-Can physically keep our private home network separate from an externally facing server – rather not have our private stuff on the same network.

-Want to have the freedom of disconnecting our private optic fiber modem for various reasons – cleaning up, moving things around etc – cant really disconnect the line for a live server all the time.

-Save 12,000 USD per year that some of the dedicated hosting costs.

-The most important reason is so that I can learn the process of how to do all the settings involved in setting up a server at home from scratch.

Surprising (at least for me) is that the optic connection he got is at 100Mbps! A Hikari line from NTT which costs a measly 1,022 yen per month for the first year and goes up to 6,720 yen for the second year. It’s a Flets Home Type promotion that he found on kakaku.com. With that promotion, he doesn’t pay the setup fees and modem rent. Nice… Compared here in my region, 768kbps with 1.2mbpsSpeed-on-Demand costs 899 php which is about 1700 yen and installation fee is 1999 php. A 2 mbps would be a luxury here…

lines

They remove the plate covering outlet that covers the telephone outlet and they use that tool to push through a wire that will give way for the Fiber Optic cable.

They provide themselves a ladder to reach the boxes. Also there’s a guy that would guide traffic. We don’t have them here, why not?

The back of the modem… just to feed your curiousity

rack

His server rack.. pretty cool huh? I wonder when am I gonna have one. It is true that Philippine lag very much in IT related bussiness, no wonder a bad economy. Note that the Filipinoes/People are good with IT it’s just the Country that isn’t.

A link to my ISP BayanDSL (note: it’s not updated), here you can see the Internet Packages they offer for Residential and Bussiness types.
