Re: I don't care about those people, I care about ME.
said by sitrix  :And there is GigE available in HK for under $100 last I recall, as there are similar packages available in some parts of Japan, so what's your point? Fact is that those services aren't available everywhere in Asia as Verizon FiOS isn't available everywhere in US. In the end, their average speed is a lot higher then ours any way you look at it. Totally, absolutely, 100% wrong. You have been reading TeleTruth again haven't you?
Why do I bother to cast pearls before swine? Oh well hear is another.

These are the speeds in Dover, Verizon's FiOS can kick those people's ass any day. Japan a pitiful 1200 kbs up. Pirate Bay spits on their connection.
Much faster speeds are available from Verizon but the people don't know what to do with them.

Re: Average U.S. Broadband Speed: 1.9Mbps
said by Oleg :What I am saying Is most of heavy users have 3mbits+ dsl or cable. Most HEAVY users. The heavy users are only a minority though. On DSLreports.com you will find a large number of heavy users, because this site attracts the more tech-savy people, and people interested in broadband generally.
I can however GUARANTEE you that out of the 25+ people I know that have DSL or cable, NONE of them have ever heard of DSLreports, and NONE of them have any type of premium package because they want more speed. Half of them have whatever the cheapest DSL package is.

So which is it, "average" users, or "heavy" users? Your two posts contradict each other. |

well, unfortunately for the US, not everyone is a heavy user. You can't exclude the outliers just because you feel like it. |
