You should consider population density when evaluating broadband penetration: Country Mbps People per km2 --- Singapore 262.20 8,041 Hong Kong 254.40 6,677 Monaco 242.89 19,341 Switzerland 222.00 207 Thailand 221.00 135 Romania 217.91 82 South Korea 216.67 511 Denmark 216.13 133 Chile 209.83 25 France 201.61 118 Hungary 201.55 104 US 199.00 34 So most of these countries have population density ranging from twice as high to several orders of magnitude higher compared to the US, with the exception of Chile, which has 1/20th of the US population. What the ranking obviously isn't showing is variability in the bell curve within a country. In the US, you can get fiber in big motropolitan areas, but at the same time, there are plenty of areas in the US where you just don't get any connectivity at all.
