Comments on: New ISP and lots of speed http://patrick.vande-walle.eu/internet/new-isp-and-lots-of-speed/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=new-isp-and-lots-of-speed Random thoughts about the Internet and life Wed, 04 Jan 2012 19:33:48 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Anonymous http://patrick.vande-walle.eu/internet/new-isp-and-lots-of-speed/comment-page-1/#comment-97503 Anonymous Thu, 21 Jul 2011 20:42:59 +0000 http://patrick.vande-walle.eu/?p=722#comment-97503 These speeds are a joke for the 21st century. The problem in Belgium, as in all the western countries, is that the entire telecom infrastructure was built 50 years ago and it is far to expensive to completely upgrade to optic fiber, so they all try to improve with adsl+, vdsl++, super-adsl, etc etc. While doing my research on comparative speeds, take for example Romania where you can get 120 Mbps download, 6 Mbps upload on optic fiber (no co-axial cable!) for 12 EUR/month. When will that kind of service be available in any western country? When will at least half of the service be available for double the price? 12 Mbps on any kind of dsl is really really bad :( These speeds are a joke for the 21st century.
