Giant corporations that are allowed monopoly over a vital utility have predatorial business practices and charge exorbitant amounts for a subpar service, more news at 11.
I'm in southern NH and forced to use Comcast. I have an Internet-only plan and when I try to change my service it shows a single Internet-only plan for 50 mbps down for $65/mo
I had the same issue, when I looked online the options were dismal and highly expensive. But when I visited the Xfinity store in person, they had multiple tiers of options I could choose from. Currently I'm on the 1.3 gigabit plan at roughly $100/mo. You may or may not have the same luck by visiting in person, or calling on the phone rather than browsing their plans online.
The few times I've been to a Comcast store in person have been surprisingly helpful and pleasant. I'm sure it depends on the location, but it was a much better experience than calling/online.

Edit: Apparently there are some decent Ka-band rain mitigation techniques nowadays so maybe one day rain won’t mess it up so much.
