But only if you are connected to a LAN (i.e. a network outlet in your aparement) but the are hundreds of thousands of those in Sweden so its a bit odd that didnt show up on the list? I myself have one of those 100mbit-connections. Actually, you can get 100mbit broadband in Sweden for about $46.

His latest shows just how badly we’re being ripped off. You can get 52Mb broadband for the equivalent of €25. That’s insane!! The average for the top 15 speed wise is 18Mb with a cost of €34 or thereabouts. So why do we continue to be underserved and overcharged?

If you can get enough eyeballs on tables like this you should be able to discredit them completely. That's the real challenge...

That's what happens when you have a telecoms manopoly with a government that holds the majority of the share in the monopoly.

Ireland's broadband roll-out has been a disaster, plain and simple. South Korea in particular has been a great example of how to build a system that works. I was in a rural part of a small island off the coast of South Korea in March, and they had broadband running to every farm, even in very sparsely-populated areas. They have seen the investment needed, and put it in place. I don’t know if I’d call Japan and South Korea “dictatorships/quasi-dictatorships”.
