Put more concretely: the population of NYC proper (ignoring the broader metro) and Switzerland are pretty comparable (both around 8-9m people), but NYC is about 50x more dense (300 mi² vs 16000).

But the Swiss poulation is not evenly spread over it's land area.

While that's true, the two densest cities in Switzerland are Geneva (~12k / km^2) and Basel (~7k / km^2).

NYC sits at about 11k / km^2. Unless 10Gbps internet and up in Switzerland is only available in Geneva, there's clearly more than just population density at play.
