Its much easier to compare ourselves with the down trodden. Makes reality easier to bear, doesn't it? Well that just doesn't help us move forward.
We have come all the way from being like an African nation to what we are now in just over 50 years. That's a really big achievement.
Why dont you look at Japan, Germany or China instead? Japan and Germany were destroyed by war.
We'll never be satisfied with what we have. Once you use 64kbps, dialup seems slow. After 128 kbps, 64kbps will seem slow. A friend who came back from the US finds his 512 kbps TriBand package as "meh... I've gotta adjust I guess" after surfing on T1/DSL lines there.
Well yes that is human nature... But it is stupid to be on a 64Kbps connection ( which works more like a 48Kbps connection ) when rest of the world is on atleast 512Kbps :/
For all _legal_ purposes what we have right now (256kbps max) is good enough. I can wait for a day for my ISO today. Some day in the future I may find it hard to wait for an hour ;)
Agreed. But the download caps are what suck the fun out of surfing on a 256Kbps connection... Atleast they should have decent download caps of 40-60GB/month.
