Unfortunately, a similar position is held by the NBN here in Australia (National broadband network), and indeed appears to be held by some members of the government.
This has been a long standing position even prior to the NBN existing, resulting in almost two decades of delays and debates in replacing half century old copper phone lines that provide much of the people's internet.
I wouldn't wish such lengthy technological delays on another country, so I hope this gets sorted out rather quicker than our issues have been.
- ianhowson 9y agoThe irony is that in Australia, mobile broadband is superior to wired in most areas. Dear USA: please do not use this as evidence for mobile broadband's inherent superiority. I recently moved to Germany and am on what is considered a slow DSL link: 32Mbps down, 8Mbps up. It's wonderful and life changing compared with the 4/1Mbps Telstra DSL I used to have.
- cJ0th 9y agoThe situation in Germany isn't perfect though. If you live in a more rural area it is not unlikely that there is no DSL available at all.
