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
