Most of Europe, "High Speed" is defined as pretty anything higher than dialup. Also, there are a lot of services that have download limits and other limits that have a lot more limitations that we have. Japan is a separate case, as the size of the island, it's easy to give broadband service to anyone who wants it. It would be like if cable/dsl companies only had to provide service to California.
