Note that DSL means VDSL2, that is 100Mbps dedicated (while cable is shared with neighbors AFAIK). When I was in Italy I had dramatically better connectivity than my Comcast Business in SF which costs 3 times as much.

VDSL2 rollout is just beginning in most of these countries. In Italy, for example, only 21% of subscribers have access to 100 mbps+: https://www.thelocal.it/20160429/italys-internet-hits-30-and.... Compared to 59% of the U.S.: http://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/100mbps-internet-wide....
