Internet Connectivity Around The Globe

If you are like me, sitting on a 7 - 10Mbps broadband connection and think you are hot stuff, this article about broadband abroad ought to make you feel inadequate pretty quick.

For example, in the United Kingdom, you can buy DSL service with a download speed of up to 24 megabits per second. In Denmark, some people have fiber-optic connections as fast as 100 mbps. And in Italy and Spain, broadband service is cheap, and dial-up service is free (except for the cost of the local call). Still, many countries have their own connection quirks; read about them below.
