Great for Microsoft, but here’s the thing about this story that makes me crazy, I’m still slugging along at barely 2 Mbps! The Koreans are rocking 100 Mbps!? I can almost taste the lag-free Halo 2 goodness I could enjoy on a connection that fast. This is America! Why aren’t we (Americans) thrilling to massively fast broadband?
