Can I just get a quick poll from the Americans about Broadband speeds stateside.

A lot of the arguments against Downloads is that Broadband speeds are too slow.

Here in the UK I have a 16 Meg sevice through O2 broadband. A quick quiz in the office reveals that the slowest connection anyone has is 2 Meg. The Average was 8 Meg.

It takes me roughly 10 mins to download a CD worth of content. Full DVD half and hour max.

Are Broadband speeds stateside that much slower ?
