F American ISP's

[Dirtbag59]

US ranks 28th in Internet connection speed: report

So here I was thinking that my Comcast High Speed internet was the ......hit. However upon further review I'm learning just how far behind we are in internet speed, price, and access. Apparently no one gets less for their money in the developed world then us (The US).

I'm learning that over in Europe you can speeds like a 120mbps upload and download in the range of $70 to $100 a month. Comcast High Speed for 25mbps is around $70 a month. In Japan the average amount of time to download a high def movie is 12.5 minutes. In America it's 2.5 hours.

And to top it off theres no data caps in a lot of if not all of the countries that are kicking our ass when it comes to internet access. No arbitrary cutting off internet access for going over said data cap (which Comcast has done to many people without warning).

Also they have competition. Yeah we complain about European socialism yet they're the ones that are saying no to Oligopolies and limited competition. Choosing an ISP in Japan and Europe is like choosing a landline in the US. You get tons of choices and as long as you have wires running to your house you can get access.

They're investing in infrastructure much more then American ISP's to make their network faster. The only company seemingly willing to try and make the internet better is Google.
Google bestows 1Gbps fiber network on Kansas City, Kansas

So yeah F these companies for providing crappy internet compared to the rest of the world and supporting bills like SOPA.
