Re: Japan & Korea said by Gbcue:You'd think they were racing to the top. Another thing Japan can do better than America... Broadband.
Actually, it would be almost acceptable to be even 20th. The Russian Federation blows both countries out of the water.
When you see a country like Muldova just missing the top 10, it proves both of our countries have some major problems.
With my location, I would be simply unable to get DSL from my own town (6km to CO, no remotes). My phone is from another town in another region (3.2km), so I can have 3008/512 DSL. I should easily have 5056/800, but what can you expect from 45 year old soggy feeder cables that Bell says is "good enough" (yeah, for what - the scrap pile?).
Indeed, 90% of Canada's population resides within 100 miles (north) of the US border. Over 56% of Canada's population lives in that 730 mile stretch from Windsor, Ontario to Quebec, QC. That should allow for one heck of a fine network, not the joke in poor taste we have.
The duopoly (Bell + Rogers/Cogeco Cable) want no part of competition, and their golfing buddies at the CTRC are doing everything in their power to make certain competition is stifled. They're doing everything in their power to break the back of the independent ISP. Just look at the troubles Wind had to get started up in cell phone competition!!
At least your FCC is giving lip service to improving broadband. Our CTRC is just granting freedom of license to the cablecos and telcos to shaft the population as they want. |
