How could Australia's being worse NOT mean America's is better than Australia's? O.o I'm pointing out that that study is conveniently missing other countries like mine in it's analysis (where America's costs ARE considered better) which is a bit insulting to those ignored in the results. And the article didn't even mention Australia, so that's very biased. Again, isn't America lucky they are cared about more than the rest of us?:P
$100USD for 50MBps?
Americans are seriously complaining about getting those kinds of speeds for that amount of money? I would do unseemly things for those internet speeds!
Here in Australia we can get 12MBps MAX (top of the range) at about the $100 mark per month (and AUD almost equals USD these days) with heavy download/upload limits on our aging, unreliable copper cable network. America has nothing to complain about. In fact, they should be lobbying to help us poor Aussies.

And that's in the CBD. Anyone outside the CBD is practically on dial up. It takes me several hours to download Ubuntu whenever there is a new iso and watching a youtube video in HD renders the internet unusable to all other devices in the house.
Yeeeeees there is a new broadband network being implemented (which is outdated technology in itself), but our new "elected" government is considering pulling it out and keeping the crap we've got now instead.
