A better question would be: Why US carriers have overpriced data plans and/or outdated infrastructure when my third world country provides me with better price

A better question would be: Why US carriers have overpriced data plans and/or outdated infrastructure when my third world country provides me with better price/performance that makes the Americans look like they are being ripped off?
7$ per month assures me of download speed 300mb/s 100mb/s upload speed and unlimited traffic on fiber.
Do you have better deals guys?
- dspillett 10y agoThere are three issues here that I can think of. First is the obvious one that your loaded question alludes to: a resistance to change because that costs so companies won't do it until it would give them a relatively easy advantage (that lasts more than a week) over their competitors. Second: creating new infrastructure can be a lot easier than upgrading. You don't have to worry about supporting existing devices and userbase. Third: In developing nations infrastructure projects like that are often in significant part funded by internal government funds and external aid rather than there being an expectation that commercial entities will foot the entire bill.
