In Romania, in all towns and cities there are connections to the home users up to 100Mbps. This 100Mbps connection is inside the town/area, but for internet is lower.
Also, today I've seen an offer of T1 connectivity in US. T1 meaning 1.5Mbps FULL (guaranteed service - NOT shared with anyone). The connection price was around $399. In Romania, 1.5Mbit (guaranteed service) can be achieved for $300 or lower, in some conditions. And the price is lowering. In all cities and even in rural areas there are a lot of options to get more than 10Mbps on FIBER and/or ethernet access with price lower than DSL.
