[citation][nom]tayb[/nom]The continental United States is roughly 26 times the size of Japan. Europe is only about 10% large. Europe. You know, the continent. People harp on the US for being "waaaay behind" but no other country has anywhere near as much land to cover as the United States.[/citation]
Fun fact: Netflix released their numbers for streaming video to ISPs. Canada which has a larger land area than the US, their slowest ISP, is faster than the fastest ISP in the US.
The "larger" land area argument doesn't seem to hold water. You might try to make a case for population density and number of users, but then we'll have to get into some of the majorly dense population centers in other countries with far better ISPs, which should disembowel that argument.
