Switzerland is smaller than West Virginia. Less than 1% of the US. It’s much easier, and cheaper, to wire up a small country than the massive one. | ||

It is usually silly to compare any country with the whole US. Instead search for the most similar state to compare with: for example Colorado has similarities with Switzerland. Does Colorado have similarly affordable 25 Gbit fiber? > much easier, and cheaper, to wire up a small country than the massive one If your theory makes any sense at all, then Vermont with 60% of the size and 7% of the population should have amazing internet... does it? I'm in New Zealand: Our internet isn't like Switzerlands (~1/2 the population in 6x the size). I use Oregon for our benchmark state. | ||

Just above your comment is one lamenting the situation in New York City. That's roughly the same population as Switzerland in a not quite as massive area. | ||

That's not what the article is about. It's about what goes in the ducts when they are connected, and who has access to the infra. | ||

Is West Virginia wired up? | ||
