Yahoo BB is the largest Internet service
provider in Japan. With its ADSL service,
you can enjoy unlimited Internet access with
a very affordable monthly rate. You can also enjoy its IP phone service
with very competitive phone rates.
 Yahoo BB currently offers 5 types of ADSL
services; 50M Revo, 50M, 26M, 12M and 8M.
These numbers represent the maximum download
speeds. However, the actual speed is influenced
by a lot of factors. The most influential
factor is the distance between the local NTT exchange
building and your house. The speed degrades as the distance becomes
longer. Nobody knows
for sure how fast the
speed can be until
Yahoo BB line is actually
connected. That's
one of the reasons why
Yahoo BB! offers
free trial period.
If you are a price conscious consumer or
do not use the Internet very often, 8M is
the best choice. If you are looking for a
faster Internet connection, 50M is definitely
the best. 50M service is slightly distance-resistant
too. Theologically, a download speed of 1Mbps
can be achieved even 5.5 km away from an
NTT exchange. The speed is still 18 times
faster than conventional dial-up service
for which the maximum speed is only 56kbps.
 Difference Between 50M Revo and 50M
These are two kinds
of 50M services:
"50M"
and "50M Revo".
50M Revo offers
faster upload speed
if your house is very close to your local
NTT exchange building. If your house is not close enough, a regular
50M service should be enough for you.
