I you have to wait more than 5 seconds on a download, you obviously need the 
next higher speed package.

  It's all marketing BS that the general public buys into, every - single - 
time. I would bet that 99% of the population doesn't need more than a 5Mbps or 
10Mbps connection, at most.

    I think we should compare amperage of average electrical services and

    100 meg cable is available in my town, so people could raise the average 
speed test result by simply buying more speed.  Generally if we offer multiple 
packages, then the overwhelming majority of people buy the cheapest one; so 
maybe the US is really above average at being cheap.  We should focus on what 
we're good at and stop envying our neighbors' phalli mbps.
    </sarcasm>

    The social and economic advantages of having internet service are realized 
with 1 or 2 mbps.  After that it's all entertainment, so why do we stress over 
it?
