I love the cynicism, but if we’re looking at Median speed, us is still among the best - 11th for broadband, 26th for mobile. Punching below its weight class, for sure, but not exactly worse than developing countries. The only exceptions are Thailand, Hungary, and Romania IMO - props to them!!
I'd just like to politely point out that Hungary is absolutely miles away from being a developing country, as is Romania, and these days Thailand doesn't even count either for the most part.
Very fair! I guess I’d consider them somewhat “third world”, though obviously only in the “not western Europe, the commonwealth, the US, or east Asia”. Which isn’t exactly a great metric but it’s what a lot of Americans mean by that term lol
