My school has 100 Mbit broadband.
No, they do not. My question was rhetorical.
You may recall that there was a thread a while ago, titled "How much do you pay for your internet ?" or something like that. I also know people (friends, acquaintances) who live in California, for example (Silicon Valley), and I have a fair idea of what's available and for how much.

I could provide links, but it's not easy to filter truth from agendas, and I believe everybody should read several pieces and make up their own mind about it. (Besides which, I'd prolly also be accused of wearing a tinfoil hat and hating corporations, half of which is true. So instead of trying to convince people, I'll just let people make up their own minds.)

So, if you or anyone else would care to find out a bit more about it, google 200 billion dollars, broadband, telco, promise ... (the 200 billion is the actual figure, I didn't pull that out of thin air).
