Varies widely. I could be fantastic in one town, but terrible in the next town over, even if the towns are similar in terms of size, density, demographics, and wealth. But in general, more places than not have pretty poor broadband. From what I understand, most European countries have some sort of system in place where one company owns the copper/fiber line to your house, and another company connects that line to the backbone. (I'm oversimplifying because I don't understand it) The US doesn't have that- the same company that maintains the copper maintains the connection to the backbone. And if there's only one line to your house, that company has a monopoly on you, and they have no financial reason to better their service. Thankfully, my house/neighborhood is serviced by at least three broadband providers. I pay $60 a month for 150Mb/s up, 150Mb/s down. Customer service is pretty good. I'm very happy with it. 25Gb/s though, that's wild. I have difficulty imagining it just from a technical perspective.
