US broadband speeds 15 years behind South Korea
You can't escape ads on US TV each day from Comcast, AT&T, Sprint or some other provider crowing about how they are making their networks faster for TV, internet and phone.

Fast is relative, though, and it seems broadband is only inching forward in the US, with the country calculated to be 15 years behind speed leader South Korea.

That's according to research from the Communications Workers of America, which said internet speed in the US increased by just 1.6Mbps between 2007 and 2009.

Re: US broadband speeds 15 years behind South Korea
Yeah and I'm getting fed up with it. When I moved from my old apartment to my new area I was stuck at download speeds around 6.0 mbps because the area that serves me doesn't bring fiber to your house like in the previous neighborhood I was living in. Sigh* frustrates me.
