Countries with backwards tech

american telecom is 3rd world tier.

That's fine. You've never been to a city though, have you? Because telephone poles like that are ubiquitous anywhere people actually live if they can't bury the cables.

looks comfy

do you realize that they do it specifically like that in case of earthquakes

>telephone poles
in 3rd world countries like the USA

The Asian countrys found it cheaper to just 'run another line' then worry about fixing what broke.

So like half those lines dont even work.

poles get fucked up way worse than what we have. americans use poles because their infrastucture is decades behind the first world.

South Korea became a modern country really fucking quickly. It doesn't surprise me that infrastructure is sloppy in some places.

TOKYO — Japan is renowned for its robots and bullet trains, and has some of the world’s fastest broadband networks. But it also remains firmly wedded to a pre-Internet technology — the fax machine — that in most other developed nations has joined answering machines, eight-tracks and cassette tapes in the dustbin of outmoded technologies.

Last year alone [2012], Japanese households bought 1.7 million of the old-style fax machines, which print documents on slick, glossy paper spooled in the back. In the United States, the device has become such an artifact that the Smithsonian is adding two machines to its collection, technology historians said.

“The fax was such a success here that it has proven hard to replace,” said Kenichi Shibata, a manager at NTT Communications, which led development of the technology in the 1970s. “It has grown unusually deep roots into Japanese society.”

The Japanese government’s Cabinet Office said that almost 100 percent of business offices and 45 percent of private homes had a fax machine as of 2011.

Yuichiro Sugahara learned the hard way about his country’s deep attachment to the fax machine, which the nation popularized in the 1980s. A decade ago, he tried to modernize his family-run company, which delivers traditional bento lunchboxes, by taking orders online. Sales quickly plummeted.

Today, his company, Tamagoya, is thriving with the hiss and beep of thousands of orders pouring in every morning, most by fax, many with minutely detailed handwritten requests like “go light on the batter in the fried chicken” or “add an extra hard-boiled egg.”

“There is still something in Japanese culture that demands the warm, personal feelings that you get with a handwritten fax,” said Mr. Sugahara, 43.

On a more anecdotal level, Japan is also known for basically having websites that look stuck in 1998. No country for webdevs.

I'm still using adsl over soviet-era copper. Also one of the wooden poles nearby nearly fell due to being completely rotten but somehow got held up by a phone lines. It's a city with a population of nearly 700k.

I have strong suspicion that it's because no one can go against elderly upper-managment's wishes and those managment likes pretty bright unformatted text with blinking pictures and no one gives a shit about opinions of their """web 3.0 artisans"""

The average Jow Forums poster just has too much frogjak in his head.

US has underground cabling
Just have to live in a non shit area

Lived in an upper middle class suburb with modern underground infrastructure.
In 10 years, the power went out three times with a duration of less than 3 minutes each time. Internet line was always reliable, no matter what rough weather was outside. Small local ISP was amazing as well.
Meanwhile, the city has ancient poorly maintained copper lines on overhead poles.

If you pay enough, you get better infrastructure

no we don't, fuck off retard.

Except for the major ones coming from the power plants in the middle of nowhere, yes, we actually do. And I say that while living in Eastern Europe.

Poles are much easier to fix.

Using avatars is against the rules, fyi. There's even an entry for it in the report drop down menu.

Here is the USA, I like our poles. They are finally running fiber to where I live in the countryside, and it's cool to see all the exposed splice boxes, junction boxes on poles, and cable everywhere. It's like The Wired and the Information Superhighway finally rolled into town.

i like how this is worded user

Found the webdev.

I've heard that in some places those soviet telephone lines were layed in the (storm?) sewers, so when spring comes and the snow melts, the copper gets submerged and some of the signal disipates into the water. Do you notice connection issues in the spring Ivan?

i'm from europe and i have never in my life seen such a mess of cables

Not every country had money to burn after WW2. Cuck countries that remained got off pretty easily, but countries like Japan or South Korea were devastated (South Korea more so, for years to come) and their only goal was to rebuild their society as fast as possible. Two issues with that though, they didn't have too much money to spend, and there were too many of them. As a result, they resorted to stuff like that.
>b-but why didn't they changed policies later when they had money
There is so much traffic in cities at all times that it would be inconvenient on top of costing everyone a shit ton of money. Changing a country's entire infastructure isn't easy. It's the same problem as with countries that never constructed big sewers and got fucked over when they realized their toilets get clogged by toilet paper.

I've never seen such a thing here in the Netherlands. Everything goes underground.

Thanks. When I look out and behold the glorious fiber, it's the realization of these ancient ads from 1994 that predicted our shitposting future:

Its not like that here in the US, atleast not where I am.

We don't use poles my country except maybe in some remote villages but then they look clean and not messy like pic related.
So it's probably all underground.

t. southeastern Europe

western europe was bombed to hell by germans and allies. so don't come here with that weak excuse.

this trope is so fucking dumb it makes me upset

and not once but twice, i remember reading somewhere that french cities resembled the surface of the moon after WW1

I could just imagine putting your hands into a redback spider lair that way working on cable. Or some other horror. The life of an Australian telco worker.

same mate, thank god we're not animal shit cunts like OP and people having in their shithole lands

maybe i'm just copping for living in a third world shithole but i actually find it very comfy.

Redbacks aren't so bad in terms of spiders, not too scary and easy to kill.
If I saw a funnel web on the other hand, I'd shit myself.

I've seen those only in the middle of nowhere passing by when I'm on long distance train trips.

I hate anything that appeals to the drooling weeb hoards

like this site?

The US has awful infrastructure and it's nowhere near that bad here

Your wrong retard, an avatar has to be a digital manifestation of the user posting it. Wojack is a free use character not associated to a single user/person

traditionally, mostly and pratically yes. but with the "recent" mass invasion of reddit refugees i'm not so sure.

you dummy. You are implying that Jow Forums is a site that "appeals EXCLUSIVELY to anime loving cringe lords"

Dunno for Korea, but that's the same in Japan, reason earthquakes. Easier to put poles back up than fix cables underground

It's nice to think the 90s live on in Japan. I was greatly saddened at the recent shutdown of Geocities Japan.
