My parents live 4 miles from the nearest city in a rural area. Someone paid for a fiber line and my parents got a free install because it crossed the property. Before this they were using a microwave antenna and getting 10 megabit.

These days, fixed wireless mmwave antennas can do 300-1Gbps symmetrical for about $100 per antenna.
What services are providing at those prices?
Nobody, they’re talking about the antenna(/radio) itself.
Monkeybrains in SF provides up to 1Gbps symmetrical at $35/month. The antenna cost is about $100 and labor/installation is $150 ($250/total).
