No, the average internet download speed in the United State is about 171 Mbps. Though disclaimer, I’m not sure of the exact reliability of that number, different sources are reporting quite a range of speeds, though I don’t see any under 100 Mbps average and I see many reporting well above this. You’d also have to consider median vs average since people with fiber sitting at gigabit speeds may be dragging that number up, median may be lower.
There are certainly some areas, especially rural, that struggle though. And upload speed is often much worse unless you have fiber. Major cities are definitely getting much better than 10 Mbps down though.
In my area, you’re lucky if you even get internet at all. There’s no broadband except within the towns and the fiber installations got canceled because someone sued the companies doing it for some dumb reason to make a quick buck. People around here resort to using 4G cellular modems which get around 100kbps on a good day.
