England must still be in the dark ages, my house has been cable ready for at least a decade. I have had it for at least 6 years now. And it has been around 2-3mb line. I don't exactly live in a city either. When I first moved here we had farms in every direction.

Yeeap, just like quite a few areas of Europe, once you leave our inner city areas (5mb/sec plus), the coverage and speeds are nowhere near as wide-spread as in America/Canada. For foreign countries cable seems to be a near essential feature of living, it's just nowhere near as popular here as it is in other countries.
Shame really, i've had to put up with 56k for nearly 5 years (living in the sticks), whilst my mates have all had broadband for the past year...
Thinking about it, i can remember back 7 years or so ago before they'd even broken the 1GB processor speed when everyone used to use 28.8kbps modems... now they sucked. The internet never really took off here until 1994-ish, hence the connection speed bottle-neck we now have.
Ah well, the suffering shall soon end. :twisted:
