While I know we are a huge Country and it is more expensive to wire us with such speeds, we are rapidly falling behind Countries in terms of Broadband. For the Love of all that is Holy Sweeden makes us look like a third world Country when it comes to access to the internet. Its some what discouraging. |

1 edit | Good point. Go outside. You see that? It's called land. Lots of it. Something they will never have. |

I see a lot of squatters, too. And I bet they have less than a tenth of the illegal alien problem as well. |

Approx. 22 individuals per sq km
USA

So, no, Sweden is not more populated than the US. Korea, yes.
Sweden decided not to make the illegals illegal, they are just aliens and they/we (still a Swede though living in Texas) have a large muslim population by now. Sweden's third largest city, Malmö, has I think 25% muslims. In other words immigrants from muslim areas of Europe and Middle East and Africa and Asia. |

| Re: why FIBER when 200Mbps BPL internet access can !!!
BPL will never be the answer. Too many problems!
But you are right that the power companies are in the very best position to provide FTTH.
They are the only ones that can string the fiber without having to pay rent on the poles and without having to acquire new underground rights of way.
Hell they could even use BPL as an interim solution for long underground runs.
Now if a forward looking electric company would only see the advantage they have and stop looking for the quick buck they could own the future of communication.
FPL are you listening??

Re: My Lord
That's a good argument maybe for someone in montana.....
but
where i live (nj) it's 1,134 people per square mile.
in nyc it's 25,925 people per square mile.
all of this is according to the 2000 census which.
I wouldnt be surprised if those figures have doubled.
I look out my window and i dont see land I see other buildings. I live in a town where a small one family house costs about $700,000 and it's not a 'rich town'. There's no land or houses available at a reasonable rate because of the population density being so high and so many people want to move here.
where's my 100mbps fiber? It should have been here years ago. |

So at that rate, Sweden will have a Muslim majority in no time and internet access will be banned. Good luck, Sweden! |

I live in the North East near NYC. We look like Korea. There is no reason why we shouldnt have Fiber already. If we didnt have the TELCO/RBOC monopolies we would have fiber already. |

I'm still trying to figure out how fiber will enhance my life and raise my standard of living-- if I were to get it.
Still can't think of any reason to justify trenching up my front yard for fiber.

I don't care what anyone says but Sweden is a white country with white culture.... It's wrong that those ultra liberals think it's "alright" to allow POLAR OPPOSITE cultures into a country ILLEGALLY and then ENCOURAGE it....
Every ethnic group on this planet has a place to call home, but when it comes to being "white" you have to give up your land to other cultures illegally.

Would you like whites to move to Kuwait and make up 25-50% of Kuwait Cities population?

What the hell is your problem?Look around."whites" are all over the world as are all other creeds.I think you don't know the politics of that country.Sounds to me that you need to learn about cultures because you sound childish in your opinion.Your response has nothing to do about broadband whatsoever.This is the wrong forum for you.Why don't give us a way to make broadband better for us here in the U.S.A. ? |

Actually, I do know.....
Did you see how one culture is being wiped off the map and a much more dominant (and radically different) culture is taking over? It's not right when a government allows the wiping out of a people's culture that has been around for thousands of years just so that some minority-turn-majority can come illegally and wipe out of the native people....
As for this doing with broadband? Well, we're talking about POPULATION dealing with BROADBAND.... It has become apparent that SMALL populations with MIDDLE - CLASS people will spawn FTTH. When you have LARGE populations of POOR ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS and RADICALLY DIFFERENT PEOPLE who WON'T buy into modern western technology.
Countries like Japan, Sweden etc are nice currently because the immigrants are confined to the cities. When they start coming into the villages, that will be the day when that country goes to shit.
