Slower than almost everybody else

That's the U.S. with regard to internet speeds. Take downloading a high-definition movie, for example. In our big cities it takes about 1.4 minutes if you are paying for our highest speeds; by the way you pay about $300 a month for such service. If you lived in  Seoul, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Zurich, Bucharest and Paris, it would take 7 seconds and cost you $30 a month.

But if you live in Chattanooga, Tenn.; Kansas City (in both Kansas and Missouri); Lafayette, La.; and Bristol, Va., your speed is about the same as the foreign leaders. Is that because these cities do not have Comcast and other monopolies as their carrier? They have a city-run network or start-up service.
the lack of competition in the broadband industry. 

As the head of the FCC recently said, "Three-quarters of American homes have no competitive choice for the essential infrastructure for 21st-century economics and democracy.”
