Hi Hallam,

This comment seems a bit strange under a post on CERTs. Nevertheless to answer your question, I do agree with you.

Based on our most recent snapshot of Internet speed and spend across the region (November 2011), all English speaking Caribbean countries already offer Internet packages of 2Mbps. For many, the minimum advertised speed is 1Mbps, many top out at about 8Mbps. Hence having a minimum broadband speed of 2Mbps across the Caribbean is more than achievable.

CARICOM could have been more ambitious and prepared to advocate either a higher minimum broadband speed (i.e. greater than 2Mbps), and/or an increase in the highest advertised download speeds across the region, especially for those that still hover around 4-8Mbps.

If this is correct my question is how far should we set the bar given that developed countries are aiming for as high as 100 megabites.
