Re: Fast , fast broadband on the way .

Sadly, America is so far behind on the internet, it isn't even funny!

I'm not even going to break into the numbers.. I'll let you Google it.
I'll just leave this randomly googled site here though, and quote the text:

- Internet Speed In United States Lags Behind Many Countries, Highlighting Global Digital Divide
Quote:
By the end of this year, South Koreans will have access to Internet speeds that are more than 200 times faster than what most Americans have, and they can have it for just $27 a month, or slightly more than half the average price Americans pay.
And that's freaking SOUTH KOREA for God sake! Other countries? Phew..

EDIT: On a side note.. I've been waiting for fiber optics for a long time. If nothing else: Throw me a bone already! Set up a T-1 line here!! :(

Re: Fast , fast broadband on the way .

Here's the sad part about it, if the friggin' government kept their fingers out of it and not regulate everything involved with communications and didn't tax everything involved in communication, from manufacturing of parts to the actual airwaves, we might actually have a faster internet.
