Where in the nation are you located?
I am in Detroit and make less than 60k doing web dev, app dev, dba (as much as I can) and network administration:-/.
Given that you could get a 50mbps DSL connection for less than $40/month in Japan, I would assume not much. ...
Hey now. Some parts of the US aren't quite as far behind as others:)
Unfortunitly, I am in one of those areas. They are doing fiber to the home in a county next to mine, but mine sucks. I'm suck at 6mbps on cable. Maybe because Comcrap is moving up to 8mpbs, Wide Open West will follow.
I used it to transfer money from the buyer to myself for an eBay transaction. I sent the $300 item to the seller in perfect working condition. He received it and said it was broken and wanted to return it. Being as I sold the item because I was broke as fuck, I couldn't do that because I had already used the money in an emergency, so instead, I filed a FedEx claim. In the middle of this, PayPal and eBay were notified of the FedEx claim and the guy decided to charge back his credit card. PayPal ignored the fact that I was in the middle of a claim and decided to not fight the chargeback.
So, in the end, the guy got his money, the item and I got left with a $300 paypal account that is still frozen to this day.

I had a paypal account once.
