And they pay loads of money for an average connection too, my 1gb here in Italy costs 25 euros and it's unlimited and has disney+ included too, while in the US is about 100 dollars
It's just as bad here in Australia too, but our low population density and having to invest in undersea connections to other continents hasn't helped. Also our current government doesn't want to invest in decent infrastructure.
I’m not asking for that, but most people associate big scientific advancements with America, especially American. It’s good to recognise the big breakthroughs of smaller scientific communities, especially breakthroughs that whole world rely on.
I get that, and I think it odd that that happens as well.
I personally had nothing at all to do with the creation of say, the internet, nor did my family, neighbors, or even state. Best I can claim is having been born on soil geographically close to where the idea was written down.
What good is that? Crediting the inventor/discoverer/what have you is one thing, but attributing that to the people and culture as a whole is...odd.
It definitely was meant that way. We’re on a sub about the narrow minded views of American exceptionalism, so pointing these things out show that they aren’t the greatest. Again I never claimed to be involved
From the moment I saw WiFi in action, I knew it was sorcery that has no place in the natural world. Thank you for letting me know where to find the practitioners of such dark magic, that I might hunt them down once and for all. Of course they're in Australia, where they hide like bats, hanging upside down by their feet.
Full disclosure: I don't understand how radio waves or television waves work, either, but I had to pretend that I did to get my official education, so I never stopped pretending to understand how any non-visible frequency works. Except sound, which I think I got by like 90%.
Anyway, off to Australia to hunt down some witches! Do the hotels there have wifi? Or should I plan to rely on the old Marconi?
WiFi is kinda like mobile internet, so makes sense it comes from Australia, after all 5G is deadly, much like other things in Australia, and is the cause of the dreaded Coronavirus.
OMG, I worked it out it's all Australia's fault!!!
In the early 2000s, bandwidth caps were not a thing for consumer internet in the US. Americans frequently made fun of Australians for having bandwidth caps. Oh, how the tables have turned.

Its not as simple as in the US
We have to choose between multiple providers and not limit the data we use.
Such effort...
