Re: US Internet speeds won't catch up with Japan in 100 years
True, but how many places in Japan NEED internet? Not but in the cities. The rest of the country is just farm. No need for internet there. But look at here, our cities are still slow compaired with them. There is not reason why our cities cant have 1Gbps to each home.
I can understand 10Mbps out in the country, but the city???? |

Certainly not many but it's certainly not widespread in any other country either. And as someone who had Verizon's 50Mb FiOS tier I can say we aren't missing much. A scant few servers are able to keep up with that kind of throughput.
If they make up a report of what was available and not what people are buying, they wouldn't have the doom and gloom give us taxpayer money to deploy story they need. |

I agree with you. 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. |

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.

And why do you think this data is bad? 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. |
