Which is high for the kind of service it is but if that's your only option then it's within a reasonable range.

Relative to what? It's not marketed at population centers. My 10Mbps DSL was 90/mo, bonded I could get 25M down 1.5 up for $140/mo.

It's high in a sense of typical broadband for the speed and latency. In the specific sense of limited option areas or satellite only areas it is a reasonable price for that level of service.

I live in the country a good 6 miles from any City and that City is maybe 8000 people. My service is $99 a month for 1 gig fiber. The only other options I would have is some satellite-based internet or a cell based internet.
