That is what we get for being first-adopters. We in the US got burned with electricity too, we only get 110v at our outlets and need special plugs to use 220v (I think it had something to do with Edison going around the country electrocuting dogs to prove how evil ac was vs dc). Also, many countries don't allow monopolies so competition forces upgrades. Of course, we might be in a position to bypass the physical limitations of fiber and go straight to highspeed wi-fi

After three years, new low cost T-1 WiFi Wireless is about to launch in U.S., CAN and China, with International to follow. Simply put, I am paying $359.00 a month for shared T-1 service, so who do you know who would like to have single user T-1 Super High Speed Wireless Internet for only $19.95 per month?
This is a new technology under development for past decade, and now, having just completed beta testing, will soon launch. If you know any ISP owners, you need to contact them fast and lock them in as company will be contacting them if you don't. Better yet, register as Free Affiliate to be kept up to date, and once you see the true potential of becoming WiFi Affiliate upgrade, company will place ISP's under you.

Whether or not it sounds credible that the contents of a standard 120GB hard-drive in use today could be transferred in 24 seconds, even if only in laboratory conditions, one thing is nearly certain: Wireless devices that fast, or faster, will be available within three to ten years.
The question is which technologies will be behind them. Devices using another spectrum, 60 gigahertz, could potentially be operate at speeds several times faster than even Wilocity’s planned WiFi standard, but tend to lose signal strength from even a few feet away (see our article on Phiar, which promises 60GHz chips in two years). Meanwhile, companies like Broadcom and Toshiba are probably working on their own high-speed WiFi technology.
However, even if we had WiFi capable of 5 Gbps today, there wouldn’t be many consumer uses for it yet. Ina Sebastian, a wireless analyst with Jupiter Research, told us that 802.11n WiFi is “pretty sufficient” to stream movies from a computer to a television set-top box, the most data-heavy home networking scenario to gain any popularity thus far.
