How come the United States doesnt have like high broadband speeds like Japans which is 160+MB? -

I just wanna know cuz internet companies couldnt they offer more speed? I mean even though its kinda unecessary its available isnt it? I mean Japan has like 160+ mb/sec internet connections over there...how come we the people in the US dont have that?

Its a matter of supply and demand and a few other things. There really isn t a market for that kind of things in most places. Also many towns don t have the infrastructure to support that kind of speed. I know of many places around where I live that don t support anything more than dial up. Its the same as cellphones. We are always a good 5 years behind Japan. Its not that the technology doesn t exist. The companies in charge just aren t willing to pay the costs to get there. They don t see it as paying off.

I think one of the key reasons is simple greed. In order to provide that kind of speed to their users, broadband companies would have to basically overhaul their infrastructure, laying new cables and expanding broadband access to areas which currently have access to nothing but dial-up or satellite. Tech. companies for the most part have been unwilling to invest the money needed for such an expansion, especially since Americans so far have been putting up with astronomical rates for the services that are offered; they have no compelling reason to provide greater speed because the public is willing to pay for what is available now. Until there s a consumer backlash against high prices and mediocre service or a legislative mandate to upgrade the infrastructure and keep down prices for consumers, you re not going to see a huge change in broadband service. I hope this helps.

This is actually going to be one of the many things included in the stimulus package - improving our broadband internet coverage and speed. We re working on it. To put it simply, our infrastructure, from highways, to electrical grids, to bridges, to internet service, sucks. Hopefully something good will come out of this crisis and we can all be using fiber optic lines for free in a couple decades.

Well Japan is on the cutting edge of technology, plus they are one of the wealthiest countries. The UK gets an average of 2 mb/s which is shockingly bad for playing Xbox Live games online. Eventually faster internet will come, but it requires upgrading all the existing cabling.

Yeah, it does have to do with japan s infrastructure and the economy as well not to mention using fiber optics. They seem to always be two steps ahead as far as technology is concerned.
