US Democratic presidential candidate Senator Bernie Sanders has slammed low Internet speeds for American users, drawing a comparison between America and Romania.
“High-speed Internet access is no longer a luxury. It’s crucial for rural America to be connected and do business with the rest of the world,” Sanders tweeted on Wednesday.
“Today, people living in Bucharest, Romania, have access to much faster Internet than most of the US,” he later wrote, adding, “that’s unacceptable and must change,” without explaining why he chose Romania for comparison.
