Japan's Jupiter ups broadband speeds

Jupiter Telecommunications, a major Japanese provider of high-speed Internet access, will increase by more than double its broadband download speeds in July. The increase, to 2 mbps (megabits per second) from 768 kbps (kilobits per second), will be free to customers of Jupiter's J-COM@NetHome service. The service, introduced last year, serves about 127,000 customers.
