520/520 fiber $170/mo counting the static IP. Price likely due to no competition. Only alternatives are a highly congested LTE network or Starlink. very rural area I also had to pay to trench in the fiber as I was late to the party. Early subscribers trenching was paid for by the federal government.
Are symmetrical connections common? I hadn't seen that offered until they knocked on my door lol. Was trenching expensive? Here they used the city's utility poles. They covered the neighborhood in a couple hours.
Much of the power here is also underground to avoid outages from freezing lines and people hitting power poles. I'm glad I had my power traced out because the 7200 volt line goes right down the middle of my field where I might have trenched in water lines.
