Surprise: Studies Confirm That The U.S. Has Slow Internet

Just think, clean water and electricity both started out as luxuries that only the wealthy could afford. As civilization progressed, they became more affordable and accessible to the point that they became utilities. As citizens of a modern world, we have an expectation of clean water and electricity. It’s argued that the Internet should be viewed in much the same way – as a basic human right. The United Nations said just as much in 2011 when it issued a report calling for nations to recognize that Internet access is a fundamental human right.

Despite all this, you’re probably not going to see Internet access or speeds improving anytime soon. Most cities are still kept under the thumb of monopolistic telecoms that can charge whatever they want as they know consumers have nowhere else to go. Google Fiber and local municipalities are trying to change that one city at a time, but progress is slow. Until then, American consumers will continue to be extorted by their friendly Internet and cable provider.
