  1. Re:4Mbps just is not enough! on 4Mbps Still The Standard For One Govt Broadband Grant Program (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Please enlighten me what is it that I could better at 32ms than I can at 100ms

    I get about 4/4MBps in most conditions, severe storms slow things down. Latency is pretty low most of the time around 90-100ms to most well connected sites like google.com.

    Most people have exactly ZERO need for more than that.

    I second this

    * the Brazilian National Broadband Plan (in pt_BR Plano Nacional de Banda Larga) used a 1mbps connection speed, and it was sufficient for almost all needs... I don't know which is the speed used nowadays, I think is a regional thing now...

    Why should there be a "government grant program" for this at all?

    You know, it's necessary for internet cover non profitable areas: the market (with this invisible hand) not work very well in this cases...

    ...when you have a vested interest in a matter, your opinion on that matter becomes worthless.

    Most cars are far from new.

    It's false here on Brazil: most cars here are new or have few years from manufacturing - I think it's wrong in other countries in the list too: may be a common misconception ("Cuba-related"?)...
