NYT explains a lot about what is wrong with broadband in the US...
Ending the Internet’s Trench Warfare
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/21/opinion/21Benkler.html
"IMAGINE that for $33 a month you could buy Internet service twice as
fast as what you get from Verizon or Comcast, bundled with digital
high-definition television, unlimited long distance and international
calling to 70 countries and wireless Internet connectivity for your
laptop or smartphone throughout much of the country.
That’s what you can buy in France, and similar speeds and prices are
available in other countries with competitive markets. But not in the
United States. Prices here are three to five times that much for the
fastest speeds — the highest prices among advanced economies. "
