I...what.

Unless I'm reading it wrong, you have a really odd conception of the rest of the world.

I mean, I can tell you right here that pre much all of Europe has internet access - now, not sure if that's using it "right" to your standards - but we have the internets. And microwaves. and central heating. You get the idea.

And even in places where you don't expect it - I mean, I've been in tiny villages in India that STILL had internet - sure there were like 4 old PC's in an internet café - but, people pretty mmuch everywhere are online.

LIES

YOU GUYS ARE STILL LIVING IN CASTLES AND MAKING NECKLACES OF THE BONES OF YOUR FOES

[kallanda_lee]

To be fair that sounds sort of badass.

Nah Viking ships and invading Great Britain is where it's at...

random history lesson, the first country in the world to get connected to the internet (after the US) was Norway, we beat the Brits by like half a day.

"I can tell you right here that pre much all of Europe has internet access"

Same for Latin America and even most poor areas around here have Internet right now.

[(Anonymous)]

As far as I know, a lot of Europe even has better and faster internet than most of America.

We're a denser population, so it's easier to create the broadband/wifi infrastructure.

DA

I'll have to disagree. I had the shittiest internet connection in Paris. Ever. Italy was a few steps up. In my experience, the best internet connection I've had was in the US.

[making_excuses]

You have to disagree based on Paris and Italy? Actually not even all of Paris, I am sure it like in pretty much all of the world based on your internet provider, the speed you pay for or which cell phone company you use...

Because that is all of Europe and no other country could do better right?

aka I am posting this from the middle of fucking nowhere Norway and my speed is faster than the world average...

AYRT

Granted, it helps if you're in the middle of nowhere and don't have the X amount of people in your building on the same connection...

aka I don't want to admit you're right, but I know you most likely are

I was thinking more of Holland and Belgium. Holland is incredibly densely populated but even there, there are spots of terrible internet connection.

Hotels can be terrible in whichever country you're in.

Here we go. According to Bloomberg, the US is only the 11th country in the world according to internet speed. Several European countries beat it, as do many Asian ones.

According to Wikipedia, there are seven European countries with faster internet connection than the US.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_Internet_connection_speeds

France (94th best connection) and Italy (18) are further down the list. Their internet isn't that good. On the Wikipedia list, the US has the 180th best internet connection in the world.
