I lived there before dsl was available and first it was dial up with pay per use rates and later HIS (Home Internet Solution) from Ericson that got you permament circuit with speeds up to 115kb/s (dropping to 70kb when you talked). It became available everywhere where was dialup available. It started in 1998. Then in 2001 it was started slowly being replaced by DSL. By 2010 it totally replaced HIS (a form of IDSL before ADSL was widely popular).

Its was like T1 but slower and cheaper, more affordable for regular Joes. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-If-only-DSL-was-that-of-EU-and-other-countries-26810337 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 03:39:20 EDT Re: If only DSL was that of EU and other countries http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-If-only-DSL-was-that-of-EU-and-other-countries-26810317 said by chgo_man99:

Many areas did not have telephone until 90's. Its especially true for central and eastern europe. Look the highest speeds you get are in Romania, Latvia, etc.

They were too busy workin' darn' t' pit etc..

That sure is a funny impression of Europe that you have.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-If-only-DSL-was-that-of-EU-and-other-countries-26810317 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 03:08:48 EDT Re: If only DSL was that of EU and other countries http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-If-only-DSL-was-that-of-EU-and-other-countries-26810134 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-If-only-DSL-was-that-of-EU-and-other-countries-26810134 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 00:33:20 EDT Re: If only DSL was that of EU and other countries http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-If-only-DSL-was-that-of-EU-and-other-countries-26809433 said by chgo_man99:

Simple, Europe had to start from scratch building phone system later than America so they got newer infrastructure capable of supporting adsl2+. Not many areas serve VDSL or FTTH.

Oh and remember that cable there has smaller footprint than in the US, limited mostly to cities with condos/blocks, mid-rise or highrise towers. If an area only has single family homes you wont find there cable. Of course it depends on a member country.

Right -- Europe didn't have telephone until ADSL2+.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-If-only-DSL-was-that-of-EU-and-other-countries-26809433 Tue, 24 Jan 2012 20:43:00 EDT Re: If only DSL was that of EU and other countries http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-If-only-DSL-was-that-of-EU-and-other-countries-26809141
