Canada's Internet among best in world

»www.montrealgazette.com/technolo···ory.html

"The report, based on the results of 52 million speed tests of broadband users across the G7 countries and Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) membership, was produced by Montreal-based consulting firm Lemay Yates Associates Inc. on behalf of Rogers Communications Inc., the country's largest broadband service provider."

First of all, the study was done by some random company at the request of Rogers.
Second, dupe. »OECD Report Wrong. Canada the Best for Internet and Price!

and don't forget about North Korea! The Great Leader was a legend on the internet with his own Meme. "North Korea is best Korea" fully captures the essence of this report before it was rubbished published.

Good point.. I'll put'em somewhere between UK and China. Li'l Kim is a freedom-lover!

In tonight's news, Canada's beloved prime minister Stephen Harper (You know, I should just stop here, but....) is to be accepted into the Mensa club for his incredibly high I.Q.

Speaking of Internet censorship of China & UK...

»micgadget.com/14842/uks-net-cens···m-china/ (from August last year)

>UK’s Net-Censorship Proposal get Praises from China

>In England, the country is facing some of the worst rioting it has ever seen and the government has proposed a regime of state censorship for social media to prevent the people from passing on messages that incite violence. The plan has been praised by the Chinese state media and bureaucrats, as they are happy to see one of the western government is finally coming around to their style of management …

I guess Mr. Yates kinda missed this bit of news when he was busy accepting money from Rogers.....

»www.networkworld.com/news/2012/0···60.html?

What's even more impressive than some of the advertised speeds in many of the 100Mbps+ countries is the service prices. Hong Kong's 300Mbps service, for instance, costs just $40 a month and includes television service. Taiwan's 100Mbps service, meanwhile, costs $24 a month, while South Korea's costs $31 a month. In the United States, by contrast, 25Mbps Internet access will run you about $75 per month and doesn't include television.

In terms of bang for the buck, Hong Kong came out on top in the informal survey when you look at cost per megabit (which we calculated by dividing the cost by the combined download and upload data rates). Hong Kong only charges six cents per megabit, followed by South Korea (16 cents per Mb), Taiwan (22 cents per Mb) and Bulgaria (27 cents per Mb). The United States' top service, meanwhile, charges $1.50 per megabit.

I hope they made him take the I.Q. test instead of taking him in on reputation alone.
