European ISPs Exaggerate Performance; US ISPs Slower But More Honest (itworld.com)

itwbennett writes: New studies of broadband Internet access across Europe and the U.S. published by the European Commission have found that European broadband Internet access providers advertised download speeds of 47.9 Mbps, but only delivered 38.19 Mbps, while U.S. providers delivered more or less what they advertised. But if you want fast fixed-line Internet access, you're still better off in Europe than in the U.S. Average DSL, fiber, and cable Internet speeds in Europe were all ahead of U.S. average speeds, and at lower prices.

by all means, let's ignore half the U.S. population.

I think the basic problem is you're an idiot. You couldn't even be bothered to read the rest of my post, instead making snarky comments because my argument doesn't address al the points in the precise order you want them addressed in. Come back when you've grown up a little and are interested in having a proper debate and discussion among adults.
