Leave broadband, the mobile data rates and caps are exorbitant in US-CA. Back in 2016 I was paying $5.5 for 10GB 4G data in Delhi, and in US its like $10 per GB.

Certainly less, but not by a factor of 40...

The median telecom technician in India[1] make $3,406 USD a year, while a US[2] one makes $55,878 USD a year.
It's certainly not a factor of 40, but at 16x it's still quite significant. I'm pretty sure the population density which is 10x higher can factor for the 2.5x remaining.
