Lol at all these Europeans claiming their connections are better than in the US. Wow, here in California we get ~30MBps for about 20 bucks per month, and NO DATA CAPS! That's the kicker, Americans can use their internet without having to worry about idiotic data limits. European ISP's have ridiculous data caps.
Just check any speed test website, American ISP's are far more efficient than the European counter-parts. I don't know where you guys are getting your info from, but it is completely false.
