European ISPs Exaggerate Performance; US ISPs Slower But More Honest
http://tech.slashdot.org/story/15/10/24/0933255/european-isps-exaggerate-performance-us-isps-slower-but-more-honest
New studies of broadband Internet access across Europe
and the U.S. published by the European Commission have found
that European broadband Internet access providers advertised
download speeds of 47.9 Mbps, but only delivered 38.19 Mbps,
while U.S. providers delivered more or less what they
advertised. But if you want fast fixed-line Internet access,
you're still better off in Europe than in the U.S. Average DSL,
fiber, and cable Internet speeds in Europe were all ahead of
U.S. average speeds, and at lower prices.
