thats why we so slow. its hella internet traffic too. it slows down.

Explain Japan?

Today, Japan’s blistering broadband growth continues. The most recentreport from Japan’s MPHPT, the national telecom regulator, shows thatin the year ending June 2004, Japan gained 5.2 million new DSL, cablemodem and FTTH customers, for 15.6 million total customers. Today100Mbps FTTH is Japan’s fastest growing service–with 1.4 millioncustomers in June 2004–and Japan’s DSL typically runs at ten times USrates. In raw numbers, Japan has less than half as many people as theUS (126 million vs. 275 million), yet it has six broadband customersfor every ten in the U.S. (14 million vs. 27 million).

The US is a lot bigger than Japan. It cost a lot of money to lay fiber over large distances. Broadband speeds in most metropolitan areas are comparable if not better to speeds available in Japan in other countries.

Speeds in rural America are slow because of the lack of broadband infrastructure in those areas. It's not economically feasible to provide those areas with the same speeds that are available in Metropolitan areas.

When you toss in things like the lack of competition between digital service providers and lack of demand for ultra high speed internet, that also delays the adoption of faster internet speeds in America.

If the higher ups really want to track you down it does not matter what ISP service you are using.

That's true, but net neutrality would place a virtual monopoly on different kinds of web services.

If net neutrality was allowed (google is pro net neutrality,) you could have your access to things like photobucket, *chans, tube, or any "undesirable" sites limited. If not completely removed.

While they can look at what you're doing, as long as it's not illegal, they can't stop you. Net neutrality could take away that freedom.

WRONG WRONG WRONG
Net Neutrality would keep the internet NEUTRAL. Meaning that an ISP can't limit or restrict access to any website. We currently have Net Neutrality. If we were to do away with it, your ISP could start limiting access to sites that don't have contracts with them. Or if you want access to certain sites, you would have to pay more. This is what it your ISP could do if there was no net neutrality;

oh my bad. i had it backwards. my bad playboy.

Japan isnt that big. it would be nothing to connect such a small country to a super fast connection.
the united states has more land to cover.
