That still seems pretty expensive. In Romania you get the same service (1 Gbps with IPv4/6) for less than $12 (45 RON).

That's pretty cheap but you have to account for purchase price parity. Local goods are more expensive in America than Romania. By about 2X. That includes cost of local labor.

For example, the average Romanian wage is like 8,000 dollars a year. But that 8,000 dollars goes a lot further.

Internet is absurdly expensive in the US for what you're getting. For instance I pay $15/month for 2mbps.
What does the price of something in Romania have to do with the price of something in the US?
