The problem is that in a lot of Western Europe, an actually-good Internet connection is a very rare commodity - DSL is still a thing in 2022.

There are a few countries where broadband is unjustifiably bad (Germany and Belgium come to mind) but I wouldn't generalize to the entire Western Europe. For instance many rural departments of France have extensive FTTH coverage.

Also DSL isn't necessarily so bad, G.fast allows for speeds that are close to what you can do with modern Docsis deployments.
