It's due to lack of competition that the govt forced upon us. I'm sure some representatives are wealthier now after removing shared access to essential fiber infrastructure for competitive carriers.
I've once said that a project that the fed can do to create jobs, is to help lay down the fibre infrastructure so that we don't get passed up by 3rd world countries. But what's the point, when it can't be shared with other competitors?
No matter how large our country is, saying we can't do the same as Italy or any other country that have upgraded overnight, is pure BS. It's like saying it's difficult to supply water or electricity to rural areas....and totally ignoring the ease of doing it in the metropolitan areas. So why does our metropolitan areas sucks so hard?

All in favor, say "aye!"
We can all just use clips from animes we watch to communicate with people until we can all learn Japanese ourselves. :P

That chart up there, I think is wrong. Canada definitely has slower internet than United States.

The laws for illegal downloads in japan is worse then the US. So if you plan to download anime in Japan you have a better chance of getting caught. Not 100 percent sure this is true but a friend that lives in Japan (US Air Force Base) told me about that.
