Frank and Ernest by Thaves for March 29, 2012

The good news is that I have good TV and internet service, the bad news is that it costs twice my electric bill which is the highest in the state.

i see a figure of 35% for 2010, but nab is right. usa still has slow internet. try watching some european channels – very high bit rate

He must use Xfinity.

Where we live the only alternative to dail-up is satellite, and sometimes it’s only marginally better than dial-up.

I’d say that 80% of the country is dialup, however that is the 80% that’s rural, where the other 20% is where most the people live, have high speed thus 80% of the country’s residents have high speed access, unless you live in the country.

Trickle down? Is he trying to download the Republican Tax Plan?

The question of percentage can be based on number of accounts with the caveat that some higher speed accounts may have more than one user, while the speed and usefulness of the service is severely jeopardized by providers who falsely state speeds, fail to deliver, and lie about trial periods and delivered product.

For quite a few places “outside North America” the new speeds are faster because they simply don’t have an existing older network and are starting from square one.

And, BTW, over 80% of the US population lives in urban areas, less than 20% in rural environs, so if everyone who lived in rural areas was dial up service that would still keep the percentage down.

I call them Wormcast myself. It might take a seriously unabridged dictionary for you to see the definition of wormcast, however. But once you find it, you’ll appreciate it.

Really?Personally Im sitting in Sweden with a (up to)100Mb/s line for fixed price 320 SKR a month (around 50$)
