I know your all saying how great canada and this isp are, if they were in scandanvia they would be nowhere.
Isp's such as bbb have been doing 10mbit duplex connections (up and down shared like ethernet) there for a few years now and are about the price of 600k ntl.
And recently not to be outdone other companies not to be outdone are now starting to offer upto 22mbit connections to residential clients for peanuts.

The uk has a fine academic internet connection in places just retail sucks. who's fault is this ? well bt, ntl and telewest are equally to blame for there high prices and determination to make us fall further behind the rest of the world.

It would be good if somone out there could do a report on the avaliability, speed and cost of broadband around the world. From the folk i know uk is behind the rest of europe, north america, australia and large parts of asia.
