That's wild. You got to be in a very remote place for that to ever happen here. Granted, there is a fair bit of competition between the three main telecom companies, and data coverage has been one of the biggest topics between them for over a decade.
the size difference helps in Norways favor too I imagine (and probably shape too!)
It's certainly smaller than any American state, but for our population it's fairly big. The topology of the country also isn't very friendly to cell signals. 90+% of the country is mountainous/fjords. It's why coverage has been a big selling point, a bunch of people live on some random mountain side in the middle of nowhere.
From what I've heard, there isn't much competition in the US though, so I guess that plays a part. We got three companies independently building out their own network across the whole country.
