I can get 1Gbps up/down in a remote area (close to the fields) in a mid-sized city in Brazil with _zero_ government subsidies. The energy company that owns the poles was required to offer it to anyone that wanted to rent space on them and a dozen different fiber-only ISP's came to life.

If the government just stopped getting bribed and allowed competition, it seems this situation would be solved in a couple of years.
