I spent the last 2 years living in the south of Switzerland.
Wages are very high, costs of goods are high, but telecom services are inexpensive and very high quality.
In Lugano, I was paying $40 / month for 10 GB symmetric fiber to the home, and another $40 / month for truly unlimited 4G cell service. They gave me a $10 discount for bundling.
Fiber is universally wired to new buildings, and you have your choice of ISPs. There were cheaper options.
Whatever the reason, the US has been unable to figure this out. It’s not the urban nature of Europe. Small villages have the same setup.
