Sometimes I think I must be the only person with a slow broadband connection. I can't watch high quality video streams without buffer breaks so there's no way I'd be able to play a game streaming across the internet. If Sony or MS or whatever installs a server farm across the street maybe I'd be more hopeful. But right now I have no interesting in stream gaming.

I know I'm not the only one. The US has a huge number of rural slow connections that aren't going to get upgraded any time soon. The US is just far too big to get fiber in every home at a reasonable cost.

IF Australia can have  a National Broadband Network and it is the same size as the continental US then I assume it's a political decision not to.

Australia is about the same size, but it's population is much smaller and less spread out than the US. The same can be said of Canada. It's bigger than the US, but has 10% the population. Most of that population lives within 200 miles of the US/Canada boarder.
