| Lake Wobegon effect Never heard of an industry funded study labeling their funders as anything but the utter peak of achievement and value.
It's sort of like the mass shared insanity of the large percentage of Americans that think they're better off without socialized health care as opposed to the for profit death paneled system that America currently has. | |

Here is the actual report for those interested:
The results achieved by Canada using our methodology based on real user speed tests indicate that Canadas ranking among OECD countries is always much better than rankings published by the OECD. We attribute these differences to the following characteristics of LYAs methodology:
The LYA methodology is based on real end-user measured speeds as opposed to advertised speeds; the difference between actual and advertised broadband speeds can be significant. The LYA analyses reflects the market share of individual ISPs in each country, thus if a telco with mainly DSL based broadband offerings has the highest market share, this will be reflected in our analysis; The LYA pricing analysis incorporates the relative split of subscribers to broadband services below and above 10 Mbps downstream speed for each country, thereby implicitly reflecting the availability and relative affordability of all ranges of broadband services. | |

| Re: Postals $2.68/mbps in canada you say ?
5mbps @$30.00 yields $6 per mbps. Not $2.68 And that $30 is from indie ISPs, you get dinged much more when going with incumbents.
They should have labeled that graph "best price/mbps" instead of "average price/mbps". | |

That's $4.50 per mbps charge. This report is a complete, and utter lie. | |

 | | What's worse ... Salt in the wounds is the fact that "Cloud" is coming fast and furious. With the advent of everything from your storage to your apps to your local OS coming "as a service" from the net, we'll need more and cheaper internet - not less and more expensive.
Canada will be the laughing stock of the developed countries when our people will need to decide between feeding the kids or turning on their PC.
It just doesn't make sense. | |
