Who likes the way things are? I'd like it a lot better if it was more like in Japan, Korea, Latvia, Hungary, Finland, Sweden, France, ...etc.
- adventured 12y agoSerious question - how do the median consumer bandwidth speeds in the US compare to France?
- fnordfnordfnord 12y agoAccording to [this](http://dailyinfographic.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/the-beauty-of-infographics.jpeg http://dailyinfographic.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/the-b...) France is faster by a large margin.
- dkhenry 12y agoThats a seriously loaded question. The problem is the US is a really big place so in city's and their metro areas you get world class speeds ( 150Mbs is pretty common ) however in rural areas your stuck with maybe DSL and if not that then you can get satellite internet. Thats the problem I see with classifying ISP's as a common carrier. Your not going to get 150Mbs everywhere your going to get 10 which means in the urban area's where you do have good access and some competition you will see stagnation ( forget 1Gbps in cities that are well above the average )
