The US as a whole might have statistically great broadband, but that's cold comfort to folks paying $200/month for 10 megabits. Roads are better in some counties than others, but generally not two orders of magnitude worse on the other side of town.

Every hotel or airbnb I've been to in Europe has had pure shit internet. 1 Gigabit to every hovel or cabin in Europe seems to be a meme, not reality.

Yes, every (almost) hotel I've been to in Europe has had questionable internet. Homes are a completely different thing. Hotels provide enough capacity to be able to charge you for access, homes get enough to do the things they want to do.
