Swiss 26 Gbit/s symmetrical… while in US getting 1Gbit/s down is a minor miracle and anything resembling that up is downright impossible. My area in a major VHCOL metro area has a wonderful choice of 1 cable provider and maybe 2 fixed cell providers (may be because they can’t tell you if the tower will give you a decent speed until you unpack and install the system). How US gets so little for so much spent is really beyond me. So excited that at least somewhere sanity and quality prevail!!!

The US has one of the fastest average internet speed in the world. It beats pretty much every other western country, with only Denmark and Monaco being ahead. https://www.speedtest.net/global-index#fixed https://www.speedtest.net/global-index#fixed

    You can also just check the source I've linked?

      There's no way the median US download speed is over 100mbps. Also, that link doesn't consider upload bandwidth.

      Indeed, it shows many western countries with higher average bandwidth than the US.
