Re: I Just Returned From South Korea

I go there just about every summer to visit my relatives. Just about all of them have the ability to download a couple of megabytes per second. I don't know about the internet access they have at work, but my aunt uploads stuff to me all the time from her clinic at around 500-600 KB/sec.

A download of ~16 Mbps and an upload of ~5 Mbps is a far cry from the often heralded 50/50 or 100/100 Mbps service for $29/mth that tends to get plastered all over the front page here at DSLR. You also made the statement that "just about all of them" have this great service, once again showing that even SK has limitations deploying broadband to all consumers.

I'm not disputing that SK has good service, just that the service isn't the Holy Grail that it's often made out to be.
