That sucks!

Sounds exciting.

The thing is, to get 50 megabits in Japan costs the equivalent of only $30 a month.

$30 a month in DSL from my provider (a middleman provider between Verizon and I that charges maybe $5 a month extra for unlimited bandwidth + more) gives you a 1 megabit connection!

$25 a month for a 1 megabit connection is bullshit. It's utter garbage.

I live in a city in California between Santa Barbara and LA where Verizon and Time Warner Cable have both rolled out fiber. But the cost for FIOS is ridiculous, and gets you only 5 megabits to start.

TWC offers a 10 megabit line for $40-some a month, but is interested in metered bandwidth. That's unacceptable, and I refuse to support it.

The low end broadband speeds haven't changed in 10 years or so. There shouldn't even be a .766 megabit option available at all.

I understand that there's an infrastructure problem with doing this, and that these companies need to recover their losses. Thus, they want to keep shitty DSL and whatever speed $30 solutions available.

But someday the low end options need to be upgraded. 5 megabits should cost $20 a month.

I think his federal downsizing plans are too ambitious, but he sure is hitting the nail on the head here.

Gotta love the irony of it being completely harmless.

They auctioned off the airwaves and made a nice chunk of change, too (billions, I believe). Though nothing compared to what is needed to revive the economy.

Also, the whole digital thing is overrated. All it amounts to is interactive menus. The picture quality is the same.

Watching standard def on an HDTV though definitely improves the image quality. Simply using an LCD screen does something right there.

As far as broadband deployment, I think that's great. However, Internet connection speeds need to be improved. There should be a forced switch to a minimum 5 megabit connection.

Supposedly the national average is 2 megabits, but that is a lie. The average HARDCORE GAMER on Steam has a .766 megabit DSL line, according to Steam surveys.

We invented the Internet. We should be in the top 5 countries in the world for connection speeds.

Japan's national average is supposed to be 50 megabits. Ours isn't even actually 2.

There's a problem.

She's kinda hot.

She can play with my balls anytime.

Bah, Scientology is a scam and they just pay celebrities to pretend that they've reached some kind of opiate-like social/existence enlightenment. Tom Cruise burned it out.

That white supremacist looks distictly gay/bisexual.

He reminds me of Howie Mandell.

I've never watched this movie, but it's amazing how well done the fights are! I've seen a few crappy fight scenes from older movies, but this one gives you a real sense of impact when someone gets popped.

lol

It's a shame they weren't able to run all of them. That would have been extremely effective.

Happy can!

"Yeah! I identify with the one of my ethnicity!"

LOL

I hate how OReilly, who is explosive, rude, and volatile, has become the purveyor of moral truth.

It's ridiculous.
