Internet is cheaper and faster in Europe, at least, for countries that I hear about.

Over the years, I think my costs have ranged from $35 up to about $65. I was paying $65 2 years ago in Houston, but then I only had 35mb service because I didn't need more than that. I'm paying $50/mo now for 5G T-mobile. My speeds vary between 35-150mb down and are generally 5-40mb up.

Something else to think about that likely has a huge impact on it.

The size of the US and Europe are about the same. But Europe has more than double the population, and is split into a bunch of independent countries. Also, most of the people are distributed across a smaller area. To me that says that they have twice as many customers (can charge less per customer), and the infrastructure (cabling/fiber) is likely reduced by quite a bit (fiber to the Arctic Circle or all of the little towns in Estonia? doubtful).
