It's also worth pointing out that the US has faster Internet speeds than France, Germany, Spain or Italy. That has been true for at least 20 years running at this point. The two largest economies in Europe have always had inferior Internet speeds to the US. France in particular has spent decades as a badly lagging second class Internet citizen on speeds. As recently as four years ago France was one of the absolute worst places in the affluent world for Internet speeds, while the US has routinely ranked near the top dozen affluent nations (competing mostly with far smaller nations, with far greater population density concentrated in a few major cities, such as Switzerland or Norway in the case of Europe).
