Canadians have poor internet... its like a hybrid of dsl/dial-up

[TheNewt]

allenwr... America is actually ranked 16 in internet speed. Our NATIONAL average of Mb/s for internet speed is 1.9! Canada's average is 7.6. Japan, last I heard was up in 60 Mb/s for their national average.

Iowans, for example, have a median download speed of 1.26 megabits. That's not terrible considering the national average is 1.97--but it's far behind the jackrabbit-like speed of Rhode Island, the fastest state, with 5.01 megabits. But even Rhode Island pales in comparison to countries such as Canada, with 7.60 megabits, or Japan, fastest in the world at 61 megabits.

Also read this paragraph

"Most people who went to Speedmatters.org to take the speed test used either a DSL connection or cable modem," the report says. "Very few people with dial-up took the test, because it took too long. According to surveys, somewhere between 30 to 40 percent of Americans still connect to the internet with a dial-up connection. So the median speeds in this report are actually higher than if dial-up internet users had chosen to participate in the survey. In other words, even these dismal statistics paint a rosier picture than the reality."

I wish I could afford the 22Mbps connection. But it's still around 60 € per month

Um, going back on topic, the news ads dont work for me on dust2, its like the map is normal again... its awesome, but in posting this, steam spies will see the message and throw more bugs into steam to piss me off and guide me to stop playing on steam.
