We have good international bandwith but the actual UK infastructure is woeful

But out of the two isn't it better to have a fast international connection. Countries like Japan and Sweden have fantastic infrastructure but their speeds are woeful when accessing/sending data to Europe and America in some cases.

Also isn't it easier/cheaper to improve an internal network compared to an international one.

If you look at the map Japan has endless amounts of connections. I'd also argue that internal networks are harder to improve. After all, getting fiber lines into 30 million homes has got to be harder than laying a few underwater cables, no matter how advanced :)

Same could be said in reverse, as well as six thousand something miles of cables throgh god knows how many countries.

Ive been looking at the global internet cable network with a friend of mine, hes recently moved to NZ. We were wondering if its actually possible to game say if we found a good server halfway between UK and NZ. Thanks for the link!
