Comment on AOL to discontinue dial-up internet service after 34 years
Anarch157a@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 days agoBrazil. Our population density map is not that different from the US, only it’s over one long shore, instead of three (four if you count the great lakes as a shore). Still, even deep into the Amazon region, like the city of Manaus, you can have 600 Mbps fibre for less than US$20.
Size of the country of population density is not the reason internet access is expensive in the US. Greed and corruption are.

Incomes are lower in Brazil so they have to have lower prices. Avg income in the US is 4x that of Brazil.

I wouldn’t point fingers at the US from Brazil when it comes to corruption.
