You’re ignoring the fact that most areas of the US are hamstrung by super shitty asymmetric up/down bandwidths (fuck you very much, Comcast). I have 1.3gbps down… and 30mbps up, per the contract.
Why don’t you switch to a different ISP? Last time I checked I could choose from 13 different ISPs on fiber alone, and that’s in ‘socialist’ Europe. I can’t even dream of how many options someone in ‘free market’US must have.
Regulatory capture means that a shockingly high proportion (I’d be willing to bet it’s a strong majority) of unitedstatesians have precisely one viable option for an ISP with meaningfully high speed.

Edit: this is fine, I am fine with this
