I have a 1 Gbps internet connection at home, for which I'm paying $10 per month. I live in Romania.
The US and its companies are not the only ones on this earth, so unless you're going to claim some sort of conspiracy that prevented global progress, I'm not buying it.
I think you misunderstood my comment. Comcast is a US company; the fact you have 1Gbps Internet in Romania and yet many parts of the US don't (or don't for a reasonable price) just illustrates my point.
