If anything US is definitely NOT a good example.

Friend studied there had to pay 120 USD per month for a satellite connection (not even cable) which sucks just because he's not in urban area.

Finally got to move after a year but was stuck with Verizon which is notorious to have legendary terrible customer service (which TM is miles ahead on which shows how bad they are), and speed is stuck at 10mbps for years with a data cap.
