Re: What A Waste.... We're not outpaced by everyone. Just Japan, Korea, Hong Kong and a few countries in Europe. Everywhere else is just as slow, if not slower, than we are.
A bette rquestion might be to ask what the average speed of other people in doing the things they do on the internet. There are a lot of servers that are stateside, so a gigabit symmetric connectionw on't do you any good if your out-of-country speed limit is 20 Mbps.
That said, 50/20 for $50 is what the rpice and speed should be everywhere in the US where cable, DSL or fiber internet is available. Yes I know cable and DSL can't support 20 Mbps up, at least not in most cases. That's what upstream channel bonding and fiber are for.
Anyway, if the entire US had a 5/2 tier for $20, 10/5 for $30, 20/10 for $40 and 50/20 for $50...that would be awesome. Add in a 100 Mbps symmetric tier for $100 and a gigabit tier for $300 and you've got something truly awesome. |
