Korea and Canada Way ahead of the USA?!?

I think the key there is as a percentage of INTERNET households. That is, a percentage of people that have internet, not a percentage of the whole population. I'd say in N. Koreas stake in that, you are talking about a very limited group of people that would even be allowed internet access, so the fact that over half are broadband doesn't really surprise me. As for Canada, I don't know, I would have thought we would be higher for that too, unless you've just had a rush of new broadband ISP's up there.

Maybe they got a copy of Photoshop over there.

I have the idea that some of the best home-connections are in Canada. I got that from watching the ips of fast senders on mirc.

i'm surprised we even made it on the list.

The percentage isn't higher in America because the price differential between dial-up and DSL or cable is still steep. My dad, for example, only uses the internet for an hour or two a day, if even that. Sometimes he uses it more, but it's certainly not enough in his view to justify the added expense. I, on the other hand, use the internet a lot, and so does my wife. It makes sense for us to have DSL.
