I think there's a problem here

The U.S. invented the Internet and made it what it is today. However, as with many things in the 21st century, we have not kept up. We rank 16th in the world in terms of the speed of our internet connections - sixteenth!!. A movie that is downloaded in two minutes in Japan takes two hours here. We have download speeds of 1.9 megabits per second, Japan's is 30 times faster.

I have the sense, but not the proof, that the cost of the Internet is higher here than elsewhere.
