I can't fucking stand when they group together the speeds of the US as one statistic. The country is one of the largest on the planet, covering several hundreds times more land mass than those little countries. It should be broken down by state, high speed, dsl, and dialup. In the northeast, you can get a 25/15 plan for around $50/mo, depending on your contract. DSL gets you maybe 3/1 for $30. Dialup is 56k for $10-20.
In the middle of the country, the networks are substantially less built and it costs a lot more per megabit. Hell, you might not even be able to get anything above 3/1 DSL for $60/mo. This is why it needs to be broken down by geographical location in the US. Plus, it's a hell of a lot more difficult to rebuild the entire infrastructure (and the first one in the whole fucking world!) of a massive country. Assholes.
