> For that you would need meaningful competition. We don't have that here.

We also don't have a majority of customers who want to pay more than $40/month for internet.

Comcast has been rolling out decent internet, I currently have 105 megabit internet and I'm in a suburb, but it isn't cheap. I think many in the HN bubble over estimate the number of people who they think will pay for the monthly fee it would take for a company to roll out super fast internet in a place as large as the USA, even if it is just limited to major cities and their suburbs.

Inside or out of the HN bubble, if Comcast had real competition you wouldn't be paying nearly as much for your 105 megabit connection. You're kinda making my point.

Sure about that? I'm not sure if a country the size of 1/50th of the USA can be easily comparable when it comes to physical infrastructure sunk costs.
