by the tele-communications industry. Today's installment of "Need to Know" [PBS] included a story of the European investment in fiber-optics that makes their internet connections faster. The Brits and Dutch, those socialists, are more capitalistic than the U.S. with regulations that allow for competition among internet companies . See the story at pbs.org. "Need to Know".

Yes I reach this forum via a [[piew piew *high tech noises*) very fast high speed connection.

You could at least post the link, but let me help you.

I actually know the first location in the video. It's the neighborhood of IJburg, a stretch of reclaimed land south east of the city of Amsterdam. And the speedtest is quite realistic. Here we see a 79MB file being downloaded in about a minute. I also reach that speeds with my connection.
