    You mean Canada? Or Australia? Countries where they are as big of a landmass but people dont actually live in remotely close to the entire thing? 95% of people in Canada live in a 100 mile stretch of the southern part of it. Australia is the same way with the coasts versus the interior… its not remotely comparable even if they are the same size on a technical basis

      Brazil. Our population density map is not that different from the US, only it’s over one long shore, instead of three (four if you count the great lakes as a shore). Still, even deep into the Amazon region, like the city of Manaus, you can have 600 Mbps fibre for less than US$20.

      Size of the country of population density is not the reason internet access is expensive in the US. Greed and corruption are.

        Incomes are lower in Brazil so they have to have lower prices. Avg income in the US is 4x that of Brazil.

        I wouldn’t point fingers at the US from Brazil when it comes to corruption.
