Is that symmetric? The best you can get out here in the backasswards US is 10 down 1 up from Cablevision in NY/NJ. That's $50 a month. Nothing else in the US comes close. On the plus side, Verizon is seriously ramping up FTTH this year and the next, 30 Mbit down.
That said, Japan is the place to be for broadband. The disadvantaged get "only" 25 Mbit DSL, and apparently most people are looking at 100 Mbit fiber.
