"The internet and related stuff is good.

"The internet and related stuff is good. Not asian-amazing but for my understanding, far better than in USA. A LOT of internet penetration, more than in other latin-america countries." I don't get this. It's a myth that the US Internet isn't good. It's competitive with the 5-15 top countries in the world (not with Japan or South Korea). The biggest problem with US Internet is the cost, but Americans also have among the highest disposable incomes on earth. What's the basis of claiming that it's "far better" than the US? I've understood the exact opposite about Colombian Internet speeds and reliability. From what I can find, US average speeds are 4 to 5 times faster than average Colombian speeds.

My brother lives in a small town in the middle of nowhere in the US and can get up to 100mbps via two different cable providers. It's not inexpensive ($139/month), but it's available. The 30mbps package is closer to $75. Or, take Vermont: you can go up there, with extremely low population density, and get 1gbps for $60: http://www.vermontel.com/gige-home/current-promotions
