Russian public infrastructure is vastly different compared to the US though. It's probably much easier to run Internet to 10 apartment homes housing 1000 people than to 300 single family houses with the same amount of people.

I was living in Indonesia, where most of people lives in individual houses, internet installation is free or ~20$, but monthly is 20-50$ for fiber 100mbps. In house areas they have noodles of cables on the poles but it works

Assuming $ still denotes US currency, that looks fairly expensive relative the average salary.

I remember paying about 10$ for a proper gigabit in Russia. Probably a perk of living right next to an exchange point.

It is expensive.

I'm paying £40 a month for symmetric gigabit to my home, which is a house, in a suburb full of other houses, with no apartment blocks in sight.
