I wouldn't be surprised if many '3rd world' countries have better average internet speeds than some developed countries by leapfrogging older 'good enough' tech that's still dominating in the developed countries, e.g. I've been on a 16 MBit connection in Germany for a long time simply because it was mostly good enough for my internet consumption. One day my internet provider 'forcefully' upgraded me to 50 MBit because they didn't support 16 MBit anymore ;)
For the longest time I tried arguing with my ISP that I only needed around 20Mbit. They did have a 50Mbit at the time, but the price difference between 50, 100 and 250 and meant that you basically got ripped off for anything but the 100Mbit. It's the same now, I can get 300Mbit, but the price difference between 300 and and 500 is to small to be viewed as an actual saving, similar, you can get 1000Mbit, but I don't need it and the price difference is to high.
