As an example, the options where I am right now (thankfully temporary) are:

- $55/mo. 3 Mbps DSL

- $80/mo. 300 Mbps cable (or even more expensive, faster cable)

- $120/mo. 100+ Mbps (if you're lucky) Starlink

- A few other heavily restricted, very expensive satellite options (e.g. HughesNet), to which the aforementioned fleet of ill-trained carrier pigeons might be preferable

Only one of those is practical and (mostly) reliable for anything remotely approaching something like remote work.

Back home it's such a luxury to be able to choose DSL, cable, or fiber. I can only dream that all markets will have an actual choice between Internet service providers someday.

Did you look at doing 5g home Internet? There's great coverage in lots of areas.
At least in Canada 5g comes with $50-for-15GB levels of data cap pricing
