So, I've talked to lots of people who have moved out of the country (Germany, Eastern Europe, SE Asia, S America), and nearly all of them have complained about the local internet options (some areas may be significantly cheaper, but quality is a concern).

So I can't tell if this is actually a uniquely American problem or just us Americans thinking our problems are the center of the world.

It's likely different problems in the same field (eg complaining about reliability vs arbitrary caps). The quality isn't as much the problem in the US specifically as the red tape around these companies creating local fiefdoms of captive customers is. They treat their customers like ass because they know they can.
