Europe has met neutrality and has consistent lower speeds.


An assertion that is rather easily disproved based on a speed versus price ratio:

Scroll down the page and there are three ways to look at the data. The USA is consistently outside the top ten, and embarrassingly so. The best value of Internet speed is rather well concentrated in the EU countries.

What we have to thank for the present situation is a concentration of 'net access into the hands of a few large telecoms. Make no mistake, this is a collusion of big business and .gov of the most criminal order. The former free-for-all Internet is history which is exactly what both the telecoms and .gov wanted as both fear the unpredictability of a truly open and free market of both business and ideas, the crocodile tears of the telecoms not withstanding. Don't be misled by their lies as We the People lost once again because we allowed the mergers of the past two decades that created these telecom monsters. Big Business is enabled by Big Government and then Big Business runs to Big Government to protect it from the market place. Any actions that appear to contradict the foregoing is merely opiate for the masses. Crony capitalism at its finest.
