Oh, the infrastructure has been/is being laid. It's called BharatNet.

154,000 villages (of around 600,000) are now connected using OFC[1]

With private service providers in a city, I pay around $15/month for a 150Mbps connection with a 1000GB data cap (after which the speed drops to 1Mbps). I can go up to a 1000Mbps/5500GB plan at around $80.

BharatNet will likely be cheaper since it's government run.

I live in small town.

I pay 645 rupees ~ 9 dollars per month, for 60mbps speed till 3.3TB, 2mbps beyond 3.3TB.

Other plans range from 30mbps to 300mbps with costs ranging from 590 - 1800 rupees i.e., 8 to 24 dollars.

Government plans to cover whole country by end of 2022.

I live in city and pay 12k p.a all inclusive 1000GB p.a with speed 10mbps... you are fortunate to have that value which you are getting
