    There is no fiber to the curb, and DSL rolled out in the US starting in the late 1990s.

    Since then we have cable internet added to the mix.

    US broadband speeds are like the US minimum wage.

      Why would you want that now that there’s fiber to the home? That’s what we have.

      US broadband speeds are like the US minimum wage.

      And that’s because I’m paying for the lowest tier.

        They are not implying all Americans have poor internet, they are implying that most Americans have bad internet and are forced to use it due to non-competition.
