Yet another report looking at the poor services currently provided by US ISP companies.

U.S. broadband speeds are the focus of a recently conducted study by Communications Workers of America (CWA) union and the results are not especially flattering for broadband service providers on these shores. The U.S. comes in 15th on a worldwide scale, far behind the leaders Japan, South Korea and Finland.

A file that takes four minutes to download in South Korea would take nearly an hour and a half to download in the U.S. using the average bandwidth. Japanese users leaves U.S. users behind with an eye-popping 63.60 Mb/s download link. This means that Japanese can download an entire movie in just two minutes, as opposed to two hours or more here in the U.S. Just in case you are wondering: No, Japanese users do not pay more for their broadband connections. In fact, U.S. broadband cost is among the highest in the world

The CWA published the results of its first Speed Matters report in an attempt to get Congress to come up with an improved telecommunications policy.

Unless substancial re-investment is taken on instead of diluting the value of current assets through atrophy, I see only doom and gloom and a nation haunted by the continuing legacy of dial up connections.
