you could always move out there and regress.

I'd try Fiji myself.

# Canada continues to lead the G7 group of industrialized countries in broadband penetration
Not surprising, even the real boonies get broadband coverage in Canada (albeit some subsidies). My old hometown of White River (»maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q···loc=addr)
has both DSL (up to 6Mbps) and Cable broadband (5Mbps) for under $40 CDN/month.
Of course, since Shaw has their OC-192 passing through, it makes it an easy deployment

Also, the Telco is Bell Canada, not a local telco, so that doesn't hurt either.

Re: yet another World vs USA BB stat thingamagigy

Living in Canada i can tell with all certainty Canada will go from first in penetration to dead last and hold that position indefinitely. The internet in this country has become nothing but a sick joke... communism at its finest. No newsgroups caps as low as one giabyte a month and 10 bucks a month for every gigabyte over that. Email that doesn't work speed throttling even on all encrypted traffic, traffic shaping no chance for anything other than surfing the web with dns numbers that don't even work. Virtually all ports blocked. Prices rising seemingly many times a year while the rest of the world pays less every year. Speeds that seem to have gone in reverse. Yes please tell me more about the internet in Canada en102. The only recourse Canadians have is to get a second or third job or just work the one job and get dial-up from America.

Here here!

It sucks ass when your cable co. subsidizes their home phone with multiple price increases in their other services. With DSL I get 3 meg max (interleave).

On a tangible level, these studies mean shit.
