This is not really an American problem. In nearly all developed countries the delivered broadband "moore's law" has been abysmal compared to what technology allows.
In an apartment building the cost of per apartment gigabit ethernet with a couple of trunked 10 gig ports for last mile would be very very low.
(And we'd have much faster tech for same money, but development stalled due to lack of deployment - 10 gig ethernet is what 12 years old now?)
- dubcanada 13y agoIt's mostly a North American and maybe Australia thing tbh. Europe and Northern Europe and most of Asia/Africa is significantly better then NA.
- fulafel 13y agoIt's bad in Europe too, you get just ADSL2 or bad cable in cities for the most part. I'd say ADSL2 worse for >90% of the population and improvement is very slow. ref: http://www.ispreview.co.uk/index.php/2013/07/average-global-internet-speeds-climb-to-3-1mbps-as-uk-tops-7-9mbps.html http://www.ispreview.co.uk/index.php/2013/07/average-global-... (also shows that US bandwidths are better than Europe on average)
