Re: If only DSL was that of EU and other countries
Many areas did not have telephone until 90's. Its especially true for central and eastern europe. Look the highest speeds you get are in Romania, Latvia, etc.

They were too busy workin' darn' t' pit etc..
That sure is a funny impression of Europe that you have.
I am from rural areas from there that were not totally rural, I lived in a small town and I know what I speak about.
I lived there before dsl was available and first it was dial up with pay per use rates and later HIS (Home Internet Solution) from Ericson that got you permament circuit with speeds up to 115kb/s (dropping to 70kb when you talked). It became available everywhere where was dialup available. It started in 1998. Then in 2001 it was started slowly being replaced by DSL. By 2010 it totally replaced HIS (a form of IDSL before ADSL was widely popular).
Its was like T1 but slower and cheaper, more affordable for regular Joes.
