How is brazilian broadband quality?

Who, that lives in Brazil, thinks owns broadband internet?
Don’t have! We have a high speed modem connection.

While here, in Brazil, the most fast connection is 100Mbps, the japanese are testing 1Gbps connection speed. Realy, 1Gbps!!

I live in São Paulo and in my house there isn’t a quality connection, my 1Mpbs connection rarely reaches 600Kbps.

Youtube provides a comparative chart between your ISP connection, national and world connection average.
