(4) ADSL NTT Flet's 8mbps/1mbps

just for the info, I just stumbled accross a press release from NTT and they will soon offer 24mbps ADSL !! I dunno what trick they use to achieve that, though (since the max theorical speed from ADSL is 8mbps ...)

for the curious (and Japanese speakers out there) here's Flet's new offer page :
