Do a web search for broadband speeds in South Korea, Japan, France and Germany. This is NOT America bashing, and I take offense that you even went there.

Don't be so quick to cast stones. I've worked in IT for 15 years, and we are very far behind the rest of the world in broadband speed. Japan and South Korea outnumber us in users by a long shot. This is not about use, it's about infrastructure and money.

Yeah, sorry about going there. I didn’t think you meant to be America bashing, but it just sounded kind of... like a throwaway comment, like we suck we suck we suck. Moreover, I wasn’t really aware of it (though I think I HAVE heard SOMETHING about it, I’m in IT too), so it was kind of a shock.
