I am in Australia, which is "first world" (I think you mean "developed") on a good day.
Over the new year, I was in an area where all power and phone communications were first limited, then cut completely. I was able to send/receive 30 megabytes of data in about 8 hours.
I understand there's always competing constraints and priorities, but shouldn't we be striving to do the best possible job?
