mishaq posted:lol if you think american cablecos consistently deliver anything close to 150 mbps to subscribers at reasonable rates uniformly across the markets they operate in actually, surveys show that cable companies serve at or above the rate that customers are billed at essentially all the time; the people that are below average tend to be DSL you might have issue with the tiers that they bill, but that's got nothing to do with the actual connection

it's not exactly surprising that a large region has large variation in throughput, if not quality that being said, you haven't actually shown that cable companies here have significantly lower amounts of stability or throughput (no, pointing out south korea has gigabit doesn't count since the US probably has wider stretches of area with gigabit right now)
