It's the 90s on the European internet in other ways, or almost.

For instance broadband penetration in Belgium is about where it was in 2003. There are lots of internet cafes.

Edit: This is incorrect. European broadband is fine.




I think you are reading the wrong statistics. What has stagnated in Belgium since 2003 is the percentage of broadband connections that are ADSL. Between 2003 and 2008 alone broadband penetration more than doubled.


ADSL is not broadband it is fraudband.


Not when its faster than broadband :)
