Topic: Is U.S. Stuck in Internet's Slow Lane?

The article is 100% correct. As I write this post I am using a 20 megabit per second ADSL2 connection and paying about 20$ a month.
In the states they don't even have normal ADSL and its like $60 for regular DSL at 8mbs. ADSL3 is in testing as we speak. So yes there is a severe problem in the states, and that problem is due to the USA ancient telephone infrustucture.

If we weren't so busy bombing brown people, we could rewire the country in Fiber Optics and provide fast cheap internet to everybody like they have in Europe and Asia.

We are number 16 in most wired countries, thats PATHETIC.
