Interesting. In DC I pay US$30.00 per month for 3 mbps down, 768 kbps up.
That's unlimited but that's as good as it gets on speed. No FiOS here yet.
I know there's been a lot said on how other countries are better
implementing
broadband than the USA. Some of them have state monopoly telecom
companies, almost all of them are smaller than the USA. When I was in
France last July the broadband was fast as a greased gopher. But it was
very expensive. OK I was in a hotel. But it was the first time I had to
pay
for it separately.
In the USA if there's broadband in a hotel it's normally an included item.
At some point the infrastructure buildout will be complete. Then we can all
breathe freely and start complainung about how slow it is again. :-)
