I've noticed recently that many EU countries offer MUCH better deals
than the UK. The UK Government is making a lot of noise about improving
out internet.
Now compared to South Africa, where I lived before, there they consider
"super fast broadband" a 4Mbps line and the most sold deal is still a
128-256Kbps connections!!! :-( Upload speeds are even slower. South
Africa's internet is totally useless!
Unless you just change the entire bloatware software industry to stop
shipping 290 MB products that could be 1MB instead. Programs like
uTorrent are packed with features and are only 2.29MB to download,
whereas other apps on the internet (like chromium embedded) are
150-300MB with basically the same feature set.
Wirth's software law:
Wirth's Law states that computer software increases in complexity faster
than does the ability of available hardware to run it.
But since we have to deal with this, indeed I'd like countries to
support a faster internet connections to match up to these:

our current internet speeds are basically usb 1.0/2.0 speeds, if not
worse, as a usb upload AFAIK is the same as a download? speed.
