Japan is the only large country with a significant speed advantage over the U.S. And that's simply a function of their early fiber deployment. Most of the EU is slower, as is most of Asia and Australia.

Of course Obama is calling broadband speed an "issue" so that means he wants to meddle with it and waste money on it. Leave it alone, it has done well without you.

And yet, it is still slower than in much of the developed world.

Not if you are willing to pay for the speed. Are you too cheap to do that?

Can I pay your rent and buy your food and clothes too?

My son living in a single family home in a suburb of Swedish city Lund has true FTH with 1 Gbps up/down... That is 1,000Mbps straight to the TV and computers!

Sweden is 5 years - at least - ahead of say Germany in the EU.
