Re: Their country is smaller

I think New York would be easier to work in then some Japanese city. United States is seriously behind the times when it comes to broadband. Look Canada has 9 in the top 15 for highest speed ISP, 5 of the top 5, and this country has a very tough infrastructure since it's population is so small over such a large area. Yet even ISP's are promising speeds of over 20Mbs in the near future. Great Britain is similar in area of that of Japan, and a population that is not significantly smaller, yet they are still plugging along at 512kbs.

10 years from now most will have fibre to their house, which will include all television/phone/internet services. You just don't want to have to spend all this money at the last minute.

GB's population is more than significantly smaller, like well less than half of that of Japan (60 million in GB to 127 million in Japan).
