 1 edit | Studies and more studies Ok, so 8 countries top us. And just yesterday the study released was that more than 50% of those customers were unhappy with the service. So while they have better penetration, it seems the penetration is in an uncomfortable place. (no, not like the back of a VW) |

 | hey big American boy, Texas is big but not so much.... and it is certainly less populated than the UK or France. It's high time US citizens learned there's not just them in the world... |

 Bill03Premium join:2007-11-26 Richmond, VA | Let's keep the insults out of it, shall we? I arrived at that statement by looking those countries up in Wikipedia, adding their square kilometers and then comparing that sum to the square kilometers given for Texas.
I didn't make that statement just because I live here. I made it because those are the facts. My opinion on articles such as these is that they are implying a lack of broadband deployment in the US. I think these sort of articles miss the mark since geographic considerations are in play here.
I would ask that in future comments you leave out what appears to be a rather provincial anti-American attitude. |
