Europe: Bulgaria, Romania, Poland, Hungary, Lithuania. Of these countries Romania and Hungary have the fastest internet speed. See this map and click NUTS-3 https://datavis.europeandatajournalism.eu/obct/connectivity/ https://datavis.europeandatajournalism.eu/obct/connectivity/ They seem to have faster internet speeds than some western countries like the UK and Germany. They seem lower on crime too: https://www.numbeo.com/crime/rankings_by_country.jsp?title=2021&region=150 https://www.numbeo.com/crime/rankings_by_country.jsp?title=2... Outside Europe there are lots of others, but I don't know about internet speed and crime rate. Just that the culture would be very different from the US.

Warning in Hungary though, with Orban's government if you are not perfectly white, straight and Christian you might want to avoid it.

  Hah, that's quite the caricature. You should diversify the media you consume.

    Which media? Hungary's main opposition media was closed after 60 years of existence. The prosecutor general and constitutional courts have been taken over by the ruling party. Violences have exploded. I agree that sometimes it might be hard to detect when a government is slipping from a populist phase to outright fascism, but in this case the overwhelming amount of evidence makes it clearcut. And independently from any possible interpretation, when a government tell you explicitly that you are not welcome, ignore the warning at your own peril.

Vilnius can be done for $1k/mo. Rents would be $300-600, food is like $100, health insurance for non-schengen is another $200/mo. Nightlife is fun too, not expensive. Vilnius is not exactly progressive but largely chill on issues of race and alternate sexuality.
