Could that be because in North America just about everyone from 10-years-old to 90-years-old has their own computer, and sometimes both a computer and a laptop each, connected to the internet? Not to mention when you add in mobile internet and online use for video game consoles that ups the internet usage.
Does that have anything to do with how much a computer with simple DSL connection can get to one person?
I hope I am clear in my question. I often wondered about this, especially with the surge in mobile internet usage and the amount of connected computers in a average household.
Yeah, I get what you're asking. The short answer is no, that doesn't have an effect, because what that is measuring is really the result of the
bandwidth that people use, not necessarily what they're offered. For the most part in the U.S., unless you live in a relatively urban area, ISPs don't really tend to put high speed access out there for you to use. Couple that with the fact that they've been deliberately stunting the growth of the general connection speeds for about 5 years, and you've got yourself the 28th fastest average connection in the world, despite the fact that most of the tools that have helped expedite the average speed of a typical connection have been developed here.
That sucks.
I do not think tux would be the one taking it from the BSD demon. Just saying
Wha....wha...what? A linux joke? Heeeeyyy. :lovecoupl
