These guys must be smoking some oregano-laced crack. Install 500,000 DSL (my own estimate from looking at their graphs) lines in 3 weeks? I don't think that is gonna happen.

I agree, this editor must be smoking some plaster fake crack. I have had dsl installed and it sucks, the line is not even reliable to begin with and you never get what you paid for, still telecom's are still pushing this technology becuase they haven't solved the last mile or just haven't implemented a better technology or solution to solve this. The cable companies are kicking these telecom's asses, becuase they know that dsl sucks. How can this editor make assumptions about dsl, to me it seems that the bulk of these people must be aol users(not web savvy). |

well to make your day efnet just testlinked irc.aol.com enough said....
get real and stop bashing the technology because you don't like it. just because "So I did a wise decision and got a T1 installed, now I dont have to deal with restrictions from these capout providers" doesn't mean everybody has it.

The DSL lines must be cheaper over there then compared to here because your typical Chinese individual does not make that much money. |

Re: someone smoking something
Your bad experience with DSL, while it may mean a lot to you, does no mean everyone feels the same. I've had Cable and dumped it for DSL because I didn't like the service. Doesn't have much to do with the actual technology the service employs, but it has more to do with the moron companies employing it. Actually, I wouldn't really consider any Cable *or* telco on the 'cutting edge'.
You don't like DSL, but you don't speak for others. I love it. |

Yeah, it's pretty easy to distribute high speed access when you only have 2 meters of wire between customers!

Re: what else is new
These are new stats showing new broadband global rankings....it's a new story....and in turn it's being posted here....ironically, on a broadband website.
If it's not your cup of tea, either submit a broadband story you think is more interesting, or don't read it I guess.... |

Re: Cheaper
excuses, excuses. Look at how much fiber is in the ground in the US, much more than any other country and then you'll see how sorry a state the US is in broadband deployment. And don't tell me its about the last mile bs, the largest most dense cities in the US STILL don't have fiber to the home. You'd think apartments would be the first places to be wired..
NOT IN THE GOOD OL' US OF A! |

| What kind of a fool would pay to have fiber run to their home????? You can get plenty of data through copper.
Talk about BS, eh? Why in God's name do you feel you need fiber run to your home???? Who's going to pay for that??
Not in the good 'ole US of A because it makes NO BUSINESS SENSE! I happy with what I have and the bandwidth I get over the distance I am from the CO. Don't be TEARING UP MY FRONT YARD because you think you need fiber run to every house.
What a waste of money! |

| China.....
It's very easy to see how they are going to lead the world in broadband.
Chinese Broadband Deployment Leader: "You will deploy 500,000 lines in 3 weeks IMMEDIATELY! The People's Government demands it for the people."
Technician: "But sir, we can't install them that fast."
Chinese Broadband Deployment Leader: "Those who fail to perform as expected will be executed as enemies of the state!" *line of Chinese soldiers step forward, holding rifles menacingly*
Technician: "We OBEY, leader!"
It's amazing what type of work you can get out of people when you're a totalitarian state and can kill those who disagree with you. |
