I think its just about right from what I know this country has. Japan has 1Gbps connections to the home, we have what... FIOS, oh wow, and its only in select markets while the rest of the country sits and twiddles their fingers with 3-10Mbps connections.

Re: US Internet speeds won't catch up with Japan in 100 years

The US based data is bad because their test servers aren't accurate and data collection practices flawed (most importantly that they're measuring only what people are buying, not what is available to them).

Every few months we get the same old CWA/Speedmatters propaganda based on the same flawed data collection practices.

But how many places in the US can people go out and get a 100Mbps line? Not many I can tell you. They need to make a report on the speed of whats available, and not what people buy.
