Everyone in the states seems to lament the amount of broadband we have access to. Frankly, I don't even see it as a last mile issue. I have a 20Mbps connection (via RCN) - and I know I'm getting full speed because anytime I download from MIT, I get speeds above 2MB/sec. However, I never see those speeds from the rest of the web because the other end doesn't have the capacity. Am I the only one that finds their connection speed is more a function of server capacity on the other end than their last mile connection?
