Yahoo BB is the largest Internet service
provider in Japan. With its ADSL service,
you can enjoy unlimited Internet access with an affordable monthly rate. You can also enjoy its IP phone service
with competitive 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 your local NTT exchange and your house. The speed degrades as the distance becomes
longer.
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. Theoretically, 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 the conventional dial-up service with 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 close enough to your local
NTT exchange. If your house is not close, a regular
50M service should be enough for you.
