Re: F American ISP's

There are many factors at play here, but essentially, newer infrastructure means faster internet. Verizon is making this type of service a reality to some, but until it has competitors who are willing to compete with at those speeds, they won't be making available those types of speeds either.

Another thing to consider is that those speeds are fairly localized. Communicate with a non-local server, and those speeds diminish. The bottlenecks still exist no matter how fast your ISP is.
