Other than France, I think you will find most of western Europe, especially the Scandinavian (BBB...) countries have good broadband access and pricing. Access drops off the further east you go until you get to the Pacific Asian nations like Japan and Korea. Australian bb is available, but pretty much sucks. I get they impression they are kind of where the UK was 2 or 3 years ago. I've never heard an Australian say anything remotely nice about Telstra :)
I seriously doubt anywhere in Africa, except maybe South Africa has even minimal access to broadband though. I was curious about Russia myself, and found this site which makes the above paragraph redundant lol. http://www.point-topic.com/scripts/directory/ -- mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Wednesday, June 18, 2003, 9:29:50 PM, you wrote: DT> OK so --- for the UK this is not really a factor then?
