Try living in Australia, we have some of the slowest internet in the Western world. Comparable to the US in size and only a population of 21 million, which makes changes in infrastructure even harder. The government has recently pledged 4 billion to improve our internet by my guess is that will bring us in 2 years to where Japan was 2 years ago, if we are lucky.
Woh. I live in Aus and I love my connection. 24Mb's is ample here. You can go 100Mb if you want but it's costly.
We have a great internet connection speed in comparison to many... including many people in the US.
It's me... no really, it IS me!!!

Us Canadians take it in the ass when it comes to internet services/cell phone.
It's a damn monopoly over here thanks to Rogers.
iPhone service plans anyone?

So true. I pay 40$ a month for 7 Mbps. I would certainly pay 20$ more for 1Gbps!
How many cups of darkness have I drank over the years? Even I don't know...
Wow, how much I wished I lived in Japan. Not just because of this either.

Ok, i stand at least partially corrected. I just checked it out and we have moved up the list compared to the last time i checked. However, just because you can get 24Mb's doesn't mean everyone can. My parents live in a new-ish suburb in a major metro area and have only very recently been able to move off dial-up.
Thank God many ISP's cap our transfer limit here. Otherwise we might actually be able to compete with the transfer speeds of other countries!
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
Do want.
And yet I'm still here with my 1.5Mb/128kb of speed. I want a connection like that
BT is going to be spending £1.5billion on giving 40% of the UK 1GBit/sec fiberoptic, and the rest will be getting between 20-40mbits/sec in the next couple of years.
