Tokyo, Seoul, and Paris get faster, cheaper broadband than US cities

http://j.mp/MAql45  (ars technica)

   "The best-performing American city was San Francisco, where Webpass
    offers a 200Mbps service for $37.50 per month. New Yorkers and
    Washingtonians can get 25Mbps service for less than $40 per month,
    while Los Angelinos only get 10Mbps of downstream bandwidth for
    $29.99.  With the exception of San Francisco, these speeds are way
    behind the world leaders. A Hong Kong service provider offers 500Mbps
    service for $37.34 per month. Providers in Tokyo, Riga, Seoul, Paris,
    Bucharest, and Berlin all offer services with 100Mbps download speeds
    service for less than $40 per month."
