In France, a company called free.fr disrupted the ISP world and everyone had to reinvent themselves to follow. Now they have amazing speeds for super low prices compared to the USA.

They didn't disrupt anything.
They exported labor and exploited people from poorer countries more and faster than the historical ISPs which still had a strong local grounding and historic background as state agencies.

They were also the first ISP providing a service by using the ground networks of the other providers, so they built nothing.

And of course, after getting a lot marketshare with low prices, they have been riqing them again for the past 10 years.
