I understand....but that doesn't have any impact on average speedtest
results for the country.

Actually in my personal experience, access to "high speed" broadband
has created jobs in our area. It has allowed multiple corporate branch
offices and factories to come in. Internet of 250Mbps or greater was a
requirement for development of the properties.
It's staggering the amount of large data sets and small data centers
many companies are doing in house these days.

EXACTLY. Everyone freaks out when Google fiber comes to their town...
I want to know what people are doing with a 1Gbps fiber connection
that is going to save the world. Or create new jobs. Or make life
easier for people.
It's all marketing BS that the general public buys into, every -
single - time. I would bet that 99% of the population doesn't need
more than a 5Mbps or 10Mbps connection, at most.

100 meg cable is available in my town, so people could raise the
average speed test result by simply buying more speed. Generally if
we offer multiple packages, then the overwhelming majority of people
buy the cheapest one; so maybe the US is really above average at
being cheap. We should focus on what we're good at and stop envying
our neighbors' phalli mbps.
</sarcasm>
The social and economic advantages of having internet service are
realized with 1 or 2 mbps. After that it's all entertainment, so why
do we stress over it?
