Most Customers

We have the most broadband customers, some of the highest prices and some of the slowest speeds.

Anyone see the problem here? Because I sure do.

That corporations in the U.S. are fueled by greed and not by the incentive of wanting to put their country ahead of all the other countries in terms of technology and broadband speeds?

No, I don't see that

Yeah, unfortunately that policy is taking us from being a world leader, to just the middle of the pack.

When did our Country go from being a leader, or an A student, to a follower, or a C student?

When the mega-corporations started running the country through lobbyists and campaign contributions (and old fashioned bribery.)
Those comapany's that throttle should be downgraded in the worlds broadband table's.

Re: Most Customers

Campaign contributions are bribes, it's just a nicer way of saying it. I thought everyone knew that.

Re: Most Customers

Economics is based entirely on greed, and vice versa.

A corporation's goal is to make money. You're thinking of something else.

The US also has many of the oldest broadband deployments in the world.

You go and buy a computer today, a year from now someone else is going to be able to go out and spend the same amount of money (or often less) and get a much better machine than you bought. Same deal with broadband delivery technology -- those later to the game get better/more capable hardware for cheaper. Companies that deployed first are stuck waiting for their original equipment to depreciate before they can replace it with something better.
