I had "real fiber" run to our farm. 18 miles of cable was run and it took a year going back and forth. Originally it was a priced at $4500, which was to be a business expense. After install I had consistent issues with performance, after doing a lot of work to show them the issues and threatening disconnect, they upgraded the circuits for proper speeds and knocked it down to $2100. It's definitely still a car payment but it's much cheaper than it was. Ultimately I get the SLA, Direct access to cloud providers maximizing performance, i'm also able to host a few IP blocks which allow a couple internet facing machines. The home we sold recently had it pretty good too though, ended up with 3 5gig AT&T lines (no redundancy obviously) for only $450 a month total. That was pretty darn rad, even if the SLA wasn't the same. Benefit of working from the farm is that I can also snag some bw for personal use ;D
