It depends. I grew up in the country and my parents still have to use phone hotspots for internet which works well for streaming but forget about any gaming. I live in a fairly major metropolitan city now and my internet is pretty good, although I’ve noticed my download speeds get throttled sometimes
It can be, but I live in a semi-rural neighborhood outside of a town that doesn’t even have 100,000 people and I’m still getting 400/400 on fiber (and can get higher speeds if I want to pay for them).

If you have 100mbps of non bandwidth capped internet in America, you’re doing damn good for yourself.
But what if it costs $95/mo, there are no alternatives and the price has nearly doubled in 10 years from $55?
I sure don’t feel that great.
