I don't think I've read up on that very much, but it sure sounds neat. Maybe the U.S. won't be so far behind in worldwide internet speeds anymore? I doubt it, but I can always try and be optimistic.
internet speeds in other countries is faster then the US? i was under the impression from how ppl in other countries complain about how slow and how much lag they get that the US had some of the best internet speeds.
proof? pls

I gots no proof but if your in another country and your connecting to a US server for a game your speeds will be slower by default.

obviously. that goes without saying. but not just people complaining about connecting to US servers, complaining in general about internet speeds. id like to know what would even make someone think that other countries have better internet speeds?

I thought it was fairly well known that the US wasn't the leader in internet service. It depends on which countries we're talking about though whether they're faster or slower than the US.

nope, not well known at all. awesome graph. japan was VERY obvious that it would have better internet but i didnt expect the US to be half way down the flippin graph. weird how i never really lag with the 2-3 mbps i get yet japan has up to 61? that wouldnt change online gaming but it would sure in hell change downloading. insta download movies

Actually I think it's pretty well known. The president (Obama) even referenced our lacking in competitive internet in a speech or 2 not all that long ago.

It sounds to me like "sending AND recieving data online at a competetive speed" is a very specific and therefore niche demographic. It's pretty outlandish to expect even the most specific niche requirements have competition.
What business do you know of that doesn't need to send and receive data? How is that niche? Are you still being serious or has this devolved into trolling?

yes because EVERYONE watches every speach the president gives. lol. especially gamers. not. just because you know it doesnt make it "well known" well known is like tom cruise, most people know who he is. dont know what your definition of "well known" is xD

I'm not trolling, but when you say "at competitive speed" you make it sound like you have very high requirements. Above and beyond the average end-user bandwidth.

A LOT of people either watch the president's speeches, or catch the abridged version on the news in the following week, or overhear friends/family/co-workers mention something he said. Not to mention that "gamers" aren't the small-number subculture it used to be. A quickly increasing percentage of the population are "gamers". Nothing wrong with not hearing it before though, because now you know, and KNOWING IS HALF THE BATTLE!

id say hundreds of millions of people know who tom cruise is. and id say alot less then a million in the US know that other countries have better internet. again your definiton of "a lot" and "well known" is significantly lower then mine. but to each his own, thanks for sharing though! appreciate it.

So what you're saying is not even 1 million people out of a population of 307 million Americans watch the president's speeches. Just read that aloud to yourself real quick, and then say "oops my bad".
I'm not trolling, but when you say "at competitive speed" you make it sound like you have very high requirements. Above and beyond the average end-user bandwidth.
Oh and um, landscaping for one.
Landscaping? I think their offices would like to send and receive data, sorry, the local lawn kids might not need competitive data transfer, but the likes of True Green and other such companies do. "Competitive speed," isn't the outlandish thing you're making it out to be. Perhaps you're too young to remember the days when downloading (parish the memory of mailing things via post which we produced on typewriters) a spreadsheet or extensive rich-text document took a remarkably long time, but today business is predicated on the fact that all parties are linked into "high speed," internet connections and almost all companies cannot function competitively without it.

the quotin was gettin long
and no i dont. most of the population of the US doesnt even vote, let alone watch EVERY speach the president gives, and this specific presidents current approval rating is in the shitter. maybe i slightly under estimated it. MAYBE a few million know, but no, not even close to "well known" in my book.

Well I say landscaping in particular because I've got family who has been doing it for a decade or 2, and they really don't rely on internet much. I'm sure many other types of small businesses don't require it either. Anyways, there are people trying to push for internet to be a basic "right" for all Americans as opposed to it being a privilege.
Maybe some day we'll all have crazy fast internet, wherever you are.
I'm a self-professed lib and even I don't watch the president speak much. Of course, I read his speeches and the commentary that comes with them, but I rarely get around to watching them.
(This may have something to do with the fact I don't own a television)

You're definitely in the minority if you don't own a TV. Don't forget, your computer monitor might be a TV after all, plenty of people do that for the larger screen & higher quality picture. Having cable has nothing to do with owning a TV!
