Wondering why it's such a big deal to set up fast internet in metro areas in the u.s. I got 100 MBit VDSL FTTB for 35€ here in Cologne and I could get about the same speed from 3 other ISPs.
US telcom companies have assured us we're receiving the best internet access in the world. 100MBit VDSL may seem impressive to you, but can you claim that each packet is lightly-dusted with American Exceptionalism before being hand-delivered by the invisible hand of the market? I think not!
