There are states with better fiber deployment than Switzerland.
But generally, think of it as highway design. That’s the American way, after all, and it also stinks.
Switzerland: mostly point-to-point where
each home gets its own dedicated fiber strand. Upgrading to 25 Gbps can be as simple as swapping optics(multi spectrum) on each end. Some places in USA do this. Some offer 100 gbps, symmetrical.
United States: mostly point-to-multipoint (PON: GPON/XGS-PON)
One fiber is split among 32–64 homes. Everyone shares the bandwidth.
And they say Americans don’t have socialism. But that’s the problem. When there’s socialism it’s the public subsidizing corporations.
China has a bigger landmass than the US and China’s internet is insanely fast. Just like the 5GA. The US is like dialup compared to China.
Especially now only Netgear is allowed in the US compared to the innovate technology from the likes of Huawei.
Switzerland is fucking tiny.
That’s why.
I love how that’s always the cop out for any advancement.
How exactly are facts and maths cop outs?

Well, Austria is right next to it. It’s tiny, too. So why is it not as good?
Oh, I dunno. 🫨 Why don’t you tell me why what applies to a subset doesn’t necessarily apply to the superset.
No, read the article
By that logic Tuvalu’s internet must be amazing.
That’s absolutely logic, certainly.
By which logic do you mean? My guess. You don’t know.
Oh, that’s where you go dark.
