Most are on 30 or 50 Mbps. People do upgrade so they must believe they need more for some reason.

Everyone freaks out when Google fiber comes to their town... I want to know what people are doing with a 1Gbps fiber connection that is going to save the world. Or create new jobs. Or make life easier for people. 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.

Oh yeah, don't forget to compare how many cable TV channels are available in each country....we don't want to fall behind on any of these important demographics. 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? </statingWhatShouldBeObvious> ------ Original Message ------ From: "Ken Hohhof" <af...@kwisp.com> To: af@afmug.com Sent: 8/7/2016 7:51:27 PM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] US Internet Speeds Improve But The Country Ranks Only 20thIn The World http://www.mandatory.com/2015/02/26/which-country-has-the-biggest-dicks-in-the-world/ From: Jaime Solorza Sent: Sunday, August 07, 2016 6:18 PM To: Animal Farm Subject: [AFMUG] US Internet Speeds Improve But The Country Ranks Only 20thIn The World http://hothardware.com/news/us-internet-speeds-improve-but-the-country-ranks-only-20th-in-the-world
