It depends. Mobile data is far, far cheaper in the UK and France. I can’t speak for cable/DSL internet pricing but wouldn’t doubt that it’s also a better deal. Australia has insane internet pricing.
I think the point was the zeal that the UK government has in blocking and controlling website access. I'm sure we'll see that here as well - Comcast and Verizon will be glad to block whatever the Trump administration wants in return for even less regulatory oversight (as if it could get any less).
