And yet I have cheaper, faster broadband in Vancouver than I did in Milwaukee, set up with far less hassle and without continual talk about capping usage or filtering torrent traffic. Having lived both countries, I feel far better served as a consumer of Internet services here than I did in the U.S.
And yet when I lived in Seattle around 2000 I had significantly cheaper and faster DSL than I got when I came back home to Toronto a couple years later.
Having compared two specific locations in both countries I feel as though my experience is anecdotal at best.
