According to OpenSignal's latest State of LTE report, the average 4G download speed in the United States was 16.31 Mbps in Q4 2017. That's little more than a third of the speed that mobile device users in Singapore enjoy and ranks the U.S. at a disappointing 62nd place in the global ranking.

    There were 60 other countries also ahead of the U.S. What's your explanation for Australia--more than twice as fast as the U.S.?
