| Cobretti2 said: yer advertising means shit. That Australia at 12mbit/s is total BS. Most people have 1.5mbit or 512kbit here. |
Also Italy has high average advertised speed, but reality is very different: if you live in towns you can consider you very lucky with 2Mbps, and I couldn't believe my eyes when they decided to upgrade my line in Genoa to 7Mbps (but I don't really reach that speed, as the last mile wirings are quite rotten, in ideal conditions of humidity, with lower dispersion, I reach little more than 6Mbps), but if you live in the country, you can consider yourself incredibly lucky if you can get a 512-640kbps anti-digital divide line, but at my cottage in Umbria I still have 56kbps nominal, 48kbps real speed. And Italy is the 7th developed country in the world regarding GDP, and in the past reached even 5th rank. This to say that there is still a big market for physical media.
