New OECD Report On Broadband

[GhostShip]

A new OECD report shows some interesting facts.

Looking at the range of prices in each country, the United States comes in an impressive fourth place (out of thirty countries) in lowest-priced broadband available, thanks to the discount (but slow) DSL tiers being offered by AT&T and Verizon.

The country drops to twelfth when measuring price paid per Mbps per month. Americans pay as low as $3.18/Mbps, while prices in Japan and Korea are as low as $0.22/Mbps and $0.42/Mbps, respectively.

It would seem the writer of the above commentary is in the rather wishful thinking bracket with his "as low as" comment , compared to those other countries mentioned it seem we are all getting a sorry deal from not having any fibre optic infrastructure as Japan and Sweden do.

if we did perhaps we could enjoy the up to 250+ meg speeds they enjoy in japan without all the throttling as well
