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.
