Broadband more expensive in the US - that's a surprise
Hi there
Normally whenever I'm in the US things seem so much cheaper (at least to me) than in most other places that I was really surprised to read this from the BBC -- usually a reliable source of info showing that in some parts of the US Broadband is hideously expensive.
I know that in the past I was frustrated by what seemed their archaic old mobile phone system and a Banking system that still seemed rooted in the old "Wells Fargo days" but everything else seemed to be cheap, available and decently well run.
I do read on the Forums that a lot of people in the US have quite small usage caps - a bit ridiculous when streaming HD video -- in Europe there are loads of unlimited usage contracts around too.
BBC News - Why is broadband more expensive in the US?
Cheers
