American Internet Speed

[Severina]

l read an article saying that although the US is a leader in technology the internet speed provided for customers is very low

i.e. "In Manhattan people pay about $30 (£15) a month for a download speed of three megabits per second (Mbps) via a DSL line. Many people are very happy with that, until they realise what is going on elsewhere in the world."

That does seem very low. Does it vary across the US or is that the norm?

Varies depending on the ISP.
