Here (in Canada), we are paying about USD$65/month for 500Mbps down and 500Mbps up. Our only choice is Xplornet (the provincial government sold monopoly rights to each area of the province) but I think their prices are regulated. You have more problems than just the monopoly. Like the FCC, among other federal agencies, being completely captured by big business.
