- mitchty 14y agoCool, I've former coworkers that had less than great internet options however. One annoyance I have is with Comcast that they are only upgrading plans "for free" in FIOS areas.

That is, in a city of 50,000 people in Sweden I can get 100/100 Mbps up and down for cheaper than you can in NYC for only 75/10. So while you can get better connectivity in the city than in the suburbs, the question you should ask is why NYC is worse than many Swedish cities or, say, Singapore, where 100 Mbps is about $50/month.
