It's not landsize its a combination of two things:
They commonly live in massive high rise buildings--like judge dredd looking things--that are easier to network.
And the South Korean government heavily subsidizes/prioritizes deployment. America could afford to this too, but it has other priorities.
- sushid 11y ago"Judge dredd looking things" not only sounds derogatory it's not entirely true. Seoul is a sprawling mega-metropolis, similar to cities like Tokyo. But it's not only places around Seoul that enjoys fast internet speeds. In fact, cities like Daejeon and Daegu has ISPs with the fastest top speeds. [1] We've had government subsidies for wider coverage and faster speeds. Perhaps by making our infrastructure less competitive and being lax in our enforcement of contracts we've created this problem for ourselves. High-speed internet isn't something that should be unique to mega-metropolises.

- rhino369 11y agoI didn't mean it derogatorily, but I agree that sounds derogatory. I like high rises and loved visiting Korea. The thing that stuck out most was that you'd have massive high rise buildings in semi-rural areas hours outside of Seoul. Americans would fill that space up with McMansions.
