Be careful. You might get labeled a communist by some of the posters here.

No kidding? When are we going to see something like that? Is that 10 mbit service one of those things that you have to be within like 150 ft. of the CO?

Is this country wide or only in some specific neighborhoods?
I see statements that European broadband is far ahead of the US all the time. I'm sure that to some extent, this is true. But I have friends in Germany that have the same horror stories of poor speed and lack of availability that we in the US have. I've found that a lot of the European 100Mb/100Mb $30/month setups are for specialized neighborhoods and aren't available nationwide.

No. You just have to live in a place like Sveden vhere taxes are used to support the public infrastructure. The taxes are a little higher, so it's probably not a big deal for somebody living in Minesooota, yah? The only thing I get are sub-standard schools and bad drinking water.
(Suddenly, I'm hungry for some lefsa.)

Great if you want to chat with a neighbor, but over the net speeds are pretty pathetic out of their network. |

Ah, point well taken. To be honest, I had forgotten which word was indiginious to Minnesota.
I should point out that when I use either word with people not from Minnesota, they don't know the meaning to either one.
And yes, I really am from Minnesota.

Good point, but take it one step further: Think about how awesome it would be if someone on that kind of network would set up some sort of DivX/MP3 server. You'd get what you need lightning fast!
