Exactly.....

I never seem to read any reports that state that very fact. We probably have the most widely dispersed population in the world as well. You notice the top 10 countries in the world are smaller than most states in the U.S. I can also say I don't know of too many people complaining about their internet speeds and I am sure the telco's go by customer demand alot more than their want to throw down huge amounts of money to satisfy something no one is really complaining about on a large scale.

I look forward to fiber into my home so the Phone company can offer me cable as well, but it costs huge amounts of money to fiber the whole city, but for now I have actually cut out the turbo roadrunner as it was a waste of money for me. In only certain situations will you need bandwidth over 10Mbps anyway. Heck my company has only a 10Mbps and we have many users and host our websites and such here. We have the option to go as high as we want with the fiber, but would just be a waste of cash.
