This is kind of interesting, but almost completely worthless information. All this is saying is that these people have an INSANELY fast connection and probably many servers throughout the US, and that is just the speed that you can talk to them, not the speeds that you are likely to get with normal internet usage. but aside from that, their views and goals are good. The US needs a centralized High speed internet service.
Oh, and that thing about Japan... Japan is small, it doesn't take long for data to travel across the country, and they are very likely exaggerating to enforce their point, because it says that only the US is from actual test data.
