oohh yeahh?! then ill get 30MB/s!!! really, it's pretty expensive over here for fast internet (By expensive, I mean more than what it costs in Europe). My 8Mbit/s connection costed $50 per month, now Verizon came out with a Fibre DSL thing which offers 15MBit/s for the same price- thought I caught a break.

If I hadn't given up on my ex, I'd have moved to France - 20Mb for about 15€! I'm surprised nobody so far has admitted to having that

Since all internet connections in the WORLD no matter which provider are distributed from a server managed by the U.S Government.
USA= 1
Everyone else=0

Are you sure that the US governement still has that much power over the Internet? I thought that it had become so big and powerful in itself that it would keep going even if the entire US government network went down...

Still do The UN is trying to take control of the internet, but I doubt the U.S government would allow it.

Only DNS root servers are managed by US, and if I'm not mistaken they're managed by Network Solutions, which is a private company. Internet by itself is not managed or controlled by US government.
