Oh wow, don't look at Italy so! At my current address I have coverage from at least 7 different providers (even though they're all based on only 3 different infrastructures/lines).

Three usable lines to your home??? I hope you're happy, you've made at least one American cry today.
Yes. One of those three lines is based on the old copper phone lines; the other two are optical fiber (FTTH).

I currently have a 1 Gbps down / 300 Mbps up unlimited connection, and I pay only 16 euros (~16 USD) per month.

I wonder why the US is so bad on home internet connections, but maybe it's because of the scale of your country?
