Title: Wheres the Speed
Post by: Ceric on May 29, 2007, 09:00:45 AM
This in its own way is a crock.

Yet again US is getting passed up for the better stuff because of our early adoption.  I want 61Mbps.  I'm sure we all do.  You can't get even close to that without paying out the nose in the States and why is Canada, no offencse, beating us?

Cuz Canadialand is more like one big state, so infrastructural costs are considerably lower due to comparatively smaller urban densities?

61 Mbps in Japan? HOLY COW. That's crazy. No wonder Ty likes it over there.

As for our place on the list - I'm not that surprised. It's just anecdotal evidence, but I know a ton of people who either can't afford Broadband, or are just content with dial-up (parents, grandparents, etc). Sad but true.

Yeah, things aren't so bad when you put them into perspective. Now where the hell is my ADSL2+?
