The US has huge percentages of fiber uptake. Fiber is cheaper to roll out over long distances than copper. I live pretty rural and I can get 7 gig symmetric plans if I want them.
The US has problems getting fiber into cities, ironically enough. Too much existing legacy infrastructure and too much in the way of local politics. My relatives in NYNY, Philly, and so on couldn't get fiber until the last year or two, and one of them only got it because they moved. Europe on the whole is much better about rolling out fiber to their cities from what I understand of things.

Yep. Frontier has been rolling out fiber at insane rates on the east coast.

I'm skeptical of those charts. That says actual connections. There's lots of people sticking with comcast because they don't care about internet enough and want their complete sportsball TV packages. They have fiber available, but aren't using it, and fiber companies haven't quite figured out what to do with that. It's what keeps comcast afloat in many regions, cause their internet speeds sure as shit aren't doing it.
