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.

    That level of service can be had for about 10-15/month in Europe. How are the prices justified?

    Capitalism, once you have a monopoly, charge whatever you can get away with. I have exactly one choice for internet (and phone) and even closer to town, there's only basically two choices, the phone company or the cable company.
