Re: Holy hell....
said by Jonbo298  :.. Though then again, France is about 1/30th the size of the US so its easier to get FTTH to everyone over there then it is over here. no, that's not the reason they are getting this kind of broadband at this kind of price. It's because they have competition.
If being a small area means it's easy to get advanced broadband at low prices, why the hell don't San Francisco, New York, LA and other VERY DENSE cities in the U.S. have fast speeds at low prices?
The same studies that show the U.S. in 15th place or so in broadband have also normalized the data for population density - with few exceptions, there is no correlation between population density and broadband penetration, speed or price.
We have no real competition, so our broadband is going to continue to be more expensive and slower for a long time to come. |
