bah... 10ms across country and I'm 19ms on my first hop..
yay to dsl@12,000 feet.
Darn point to point T1 at work across 70miles to remote office is 11ms (yeah I bet it hits fiber most of the way)
And the density argument is definitely invalid.. there are many cities in America with as slow broadband as anywhere else, based off of old infrastructure...
You could almost say its more expensive to rewire a large city due to the costs of tearing up roads etc. (taking a guess here )
Well what with the Netherlands trialing 100mbits to homes (20 homes right now), sweden with 10mbits fiber->ethernet to home, and japan with 12mbits dsl/100mbits fiber I would take a guess and say we are just a little behind the curve
Of course, there are many countries less well off, but for petes sake we are in the *United States of America* the last superpower... and with an internet global market perhaps we will see another country move ahead... Perhaps one with less draconian laws against technology and faster pipes.
WTF are you talking about? I got better thing to do, you seem to enjoy bitching at others and then talk as if you on crack or something. DUDE, GET REAL.
