I'd put a bag on his head

It's not hard for Japan to upgrade their BB infrastructure since the country is so compact. It was only a few years ago that their BB systems weren't as good as the US but now they they're into it, they just love jumping for joy and owning American .

However, the country is small comparatively. If Japan was the size of America and had that sort of BB density, then that'd be a real accomplishment if you ask me ;p.

Canada has third or fourth highest broadband penetration in the entire world.

It's also the larger landmass of the two (America, Canada).

Canad-owned.

By Country   2000   2001   2002   2003   2004 
US            8.1%   14.5%  22.3% 33.8%   46% 
Canada         24%    32%   49%    64%   67%

Canada is reaching broadband saturation point (70%+, which is where Korea is at)

 

[Matlock]

Yeah, but Canada's got such a small population, comparatively.

 

[Lord Error]

Yeah, Canada has pretty damn good coverage, good quality service and it's quite cheap. There's simply no reason not to have BB here.

 

[Tabris]

So? What does that have to do with anything? We're just as spread as you guys are.

 

[DJ Demon J]

But what's the speed of Canada's broadband as compared to the smaller countries?

That song sucks. It seems so corny.

But what's the speed of Canada's broadband as compared to the smaller countries?

The cable companies, Accesscomm, Rogers, Cogeco, etc., are increasinf everyone to a standard 5Mbit line. (the upload is isp dependant). There is an option for 10Mbit on my cable ISP. There are also some 9Mbit residential ISPs.

Japan's broadband situation absolutely destroys that of America's. No matter how fast your internet connection is, I guarantee mine is about 100 times faster and costs less (and doesn't flake out nearly as much).

Ignorance rules!

That's the best news of this thread! I was afraid I would going to have to give up broadband (I didn't know the situation).

:tears of joy:

It means the excuses are running out in a hurry
