Internet is faster in Europe then USA.

PC World asked its editors around the world how fast the internet is where they live, and got some pretty surprising results. In general, the maximum bandwidth of broadband in Europe is greater then the maximum bandwidth in the United States. There are certain areas in the United Kingdom where DSL subscribers can get 24Mb/s download speeds. Companies such as Talk talk offer combo deals for broadband and phone. Fiber optics are much more common in Europe then they are in the United States, with plans offering 100Mb/s download speeds. Depending on where you live, internet in Europe is also cheaper then it is in the United States. Spanish DSL customers can get 20Mb/s service for 40 Euros ($51) a month, while Norwegian customers have to spend 469 Kroners ($75) a month for the same service. However, there is one distinct advantage for internet in the United States. While Americans are charged for their bandwidth every month, most Europeans are charged for their usage limits.
