One thing that really can bog down these infra things in the US (ya know, besides the general "got mine. screw you!" attitude of the oligarchs who rule this place) is the urban sprawl. On the same plot of land, you can have 8-16 housing units in a low-rise apartment building paying that 24.95 a month, whereas in the US that would be a single-occupancy detached home most likely.

Can you get good fiber (or internet in general) outside major urban centers in Italy?
