I’ve lived in Canada too. I was surprised to find the situation with broadband/cell phone services to be even less competitive (and more pricey) than in the US.
Yeah, probably not. If your country is the size of a postage stamp, it doesn’t take a whole lot of capital investment to run fiber through the entire thing. Whereas if your country is the size of the United States, it takes a fuck ton of capital investment to cover even a decent portion of it by laying lines like that.
My country is as big as the US and we can get 500 Mbs fibre for $23, less than half what AT&T charges.
Is not the size of the country that make fibre costs to be so high in US, it’s unchecked, exploitative capitalism allowed by a corrupt plutocratic government.
Where the fuck do you get fiber for $12/month?? Not in the US I assume.
Of course not.
I remember when I first moved to the US and saw the broadband and cell phone prices. Corruption american style.
Don’t visit Canada then. American prices look dirt cheap compared to what we have here.

1gigabit is 80+ here yep.
You still didn’t answer where ;)
Sorry missed that. This is in Ukraine.
No shit. I pay $60/mo for gigabit, and I thought that was a good deal…
No American would spell fiber that way.

Less to do with absolute size and more to do with urban density and population concentration.
