Anyone else feel...

Like all we hear is more and more of these stories where killer insane new fiber speeds are being reached, and will be coming in the "next few years?"

Seems like lots of talking but not enough action taking place... North America is still far behind in terms of download/upload speeds

Canada what?

Most of Canada has a few options available to their house, usually at least 1.5Mbit ADSL and 5Mbit+ Cable.

In any western province (BC, AB, WP) that Shaw services, you can get 25Mbps to your doorstop over DOCSIS. I have 50mbit to my apartment, symmetrical.

Take a look at »/archive some time .. Look how many Canadian ISPs are at the top, and look how few people we have compared to the US.

What the hell are you talking about ? On average Canada has so many less ISP options available and yet, so much better average download/upload scores against US...
