And yet look at Australia. Your argument is void, I don't understand why you keep on persisting that you are right.

I'm guessing FordGT90Concept is American, living in America, so he should have a better grasp of America's internet infrastructure in rural areas than us.

America's largest states have areas consisting of farmland and desert, almost remote from the cities - so understandably fast internet connection can be troublesome.

In the UK we are lucky, we've got good infrastructure for ADSL/ADSL2 and fibre. I'm lucky enough to get fibre 30Mbit/sec (3.8MB) Downstream and I'm getting a free upgrade to 60Mbit/sec (7.5MB) downstream in a few months.

Those speeds are crazy.. That's nearly like reading data from a DVD..

I am in Australia, in a rural area, The fastest I can get is about 140/150kbs because of my distance from the exchange, I can't get ADSL2 even if I wanted too, Although the Government is rolling out fibre optics to the home over the coming years, so internet speeds in Rural Australia should be better in the future.

Also, if I hit my cap of 20GB, 10GB between 12 at night to 9 in the morning - 10GB through the day, the internet speed is capped to about dial up speed.

I can't speak for all Australia, but for my area getting faster internet is really hard, I think there is Wireless, but I haven't looked into that..

Here in Portugal, in the city there is fiber 100Mb connection for 50€ a month. Most of the connections are unlimited but untill 2 years ago they werent. I have adsl 12Mb, unlimited traffic, for 20€ a month and its quite enough. In many areas, when compared to other european countries, we are very behind but regarding internet I believe we arent.

lol at the philippines the internet sucks. we use adsl and we pay $40 a month just for a 2 mbps connection.

our ISPs won't upgrade their service because they're all a bunch of greedy scumbags.

HERES WHY

In our central, capital region(similar to a state), internet cafes became so widespread you can always find an internet cafe every 500 meters. these internet cafes pay large amounts of money just to get like 10mbps connection for their business.

If ISPs would upgrade their service then all those i-cafes would just pay $20 a month and they would lose alot of money.

Internet in the Philippines sucks bigtime

What if its that huge because of a huge 28GB 1080p intro hd video of intel and nvidia (meant to be played) haha...

^ @lyndong
AGREED~! Its that expensive PLUS you get lots of RTO when you ping because of static lines. And with 2mbps? you'd only get 1.5mbps... and they'll say that's fine...

I only have 3 choices for internet: 56K dialup, 3 Mbps ADSL (technically should only be 1 Mbps because the signal is very weak), or satellite (256 or 512 Kbps I think).

The absolute best I can get here is less than my state's average (5.5 Mbps):

Just saw an ad for Max Payne 3. It didn't look much better than GTA IV (with the addition of bullet time).
