Re: We may be behind Canada
While the higher speeds in some areas get the press coverage a lot of us are still at 1mbps and 128, and are not likely to see any upgrades unless the Government steps in.
Many have no broadband options even though the uptake on broadband has been far higher in rural areas than expected where it is available. |

I don't know about that. I live in Canada and I have 10mbps/1mbps service here. Certainly not the top tiers available in the major US markets but pretty darn good for not being in a major metro area. The problem lies in geography, while Canada is a huge country so much of our population is in a very small percentage area. As a result the US has far more cabling to do to cover everyone. This would also account for smaller countries ability to do the same.
