It isn't that America sucks it is that America should know and should be doing better. There is no excuse for the crappiness of broadband in America.

Re: Cue the "America Sucks" Rants!

Better in what? We already have twice the subs as anyone else. Hell, Comcast alone has more BB subscribers than most of these other nations. If you want to talk about us having larger populations I can counter with us having even more dial up subscribers and the fact that most people don't have a "need" for broadband and broadband subscribers isn't synonymous with internet subscribers.

By any measure we're doing just fine. Broadband isn't the end all be all measure of anything and just because people don't WANT it doesn't mean anything bad.

All these statistics show is Americans have alternative sources for information whether it's 50 zillion non-state TV channels, 50 zillion non-state run newspapers or even dial up over our extremely cheap and universally available POTS services. Same thing as the US sucks at cellular article of a few days ago...people here simply aren't interested, not that they can't get it.

You are right. And the growth of the US in broadband is doing just fine too:
