US broadband: still expensive, underwhelming (Ars Technica)
Ars gives a great update on how US broadband is still lagging behind the rest of the world. My DSL teaser rate recently ran out, so this has been a hot button issue in my home. Perhaps most telling:
To address some of the population density questions, the OECD also produces a chart of broadband penetration overlaid with a population density line. The chart confirms the low density of the US, though five countries with even lower densities still remain ahead of us.
I am starting to wonder if anyone is truly happy with all of their communication services (cell, internet, television… the lot). With the hundreds of dollars a good number of us spend on these services, should we expect better?
