Paris, France.
30 bucks with phone. I'd say it's pretty reasonable.

Most ethernet cables (usually UTP, RJ-45 connectors) can easily handle 100Mbps, hence this kid's advice is fucking useless to begin with. | ||

Basically only people who download need a really high speed on their internet. From my experience it's more common that it's the computer that's making games lag rather than the connection. | ||

When I was in Korea 10 years ago, we had a free internet for testing purpose and it was 150Mb. it took about 30~40 sec to download 700mb movie. I imagine it's much faster now. When I shortly visited Korea a few years back, I filled my 2TB harddrive within a das. Downloads finished much faster than I could find contents lol That the thing I miss most about KOrea 150Mb/sec? Are you sure? Please post evidence of this using SpeedTest. | ||

I've had a 100Mb/s or so connection for about ~10 years I think. ![[image loading]](http://www.speedtest.net/result/1945333434.png) But I guess overall, South Korea is pretty invincible in this contest. | ||

Wow, I had no idea it was that bad. I mean, I don't mean that in a offensive way or anything but considering you guys basically invented the internet that is pretty sad. I think it should be something like free 200Mb/s for everyone there. But I guess things are not that good nowadays and apparently infrastructure in general in the US is not in that good shape these days.  | ||

Well, with the MPAA cracking down on piracy and cable companies slow to change their business model, the US has no pressing need for high-speed broadband at the public level. They don't want you downloading movies, games, etc. They don't want you to stream TV programs. Why, then, do you want high-speed broadband? It's supply and demand in the US. South Korea bypassed that - their government just decided to do it, coughed up the costs, and it was done. | ||
