> Even east eu countries have fiber to a significant chunk of the population now

Yes, “even” the barbarians of east europe have it. In romania you get around 10 gbps per second for roughly 10 euros a month from what i hear, and pretty much everyone has fiber. I believe Lithuania, Estonia and Latvia are doing great as well.

Peering outside of Romania might be questionable. I visited a few months ago and got 500Mbps within the country and just 50Mbps to my server in The Netherlands.

Its your server in the nl that has questionable peering, or reduced upload speeds; or you didnt run your tests properly.

I tried running speed tests to other datacenters in NL and had similar issues across the board. It was probably just an isolated incident that weekend, but that was my experience regardless. When I did speed tests domestically, I had 500Mbps both up and down.
