Hey bro why would you need such a high connection ...??
don't tell me you are going to start your own Bpo here 😛

"High connection" depends on standards 😀 Back in France, you would not find 1Mbps simply because it is too slow...
Don't worry, it's juste that I'm doing some high bandwidth consuming things: Video over IP (at 512, it's still far from smooth) and FTPing large pictures and videos from my digital camera to share with friends (at 24 Mbps in France, I could do it almost in streaming so I hope I can find anything with stable FTP transfer rates over 80 kbps ; just count, even at 150 kbps, uploading or downloading a 200MB video is still half an hour...).
As for the leased line, good idea but 1/ I expect outrageous cost and 2/ it will probably be reserved for corporates.
I think I'll stick to the wifi connections of the nearby hotel lobby (with transfer rates of about 50kbps, it is ok for basic needs) till I get fully settled; I am under the impression that new schemes are coming from everywhere these days, so hopefully there will be some decent 1Mbps availability in January (unlimited, let's dream 😛 )
Cheers,
Tom
