I faced a similar challenge. If you have line of sight to something, you can do fixed wireless for maybe 200-400 depending on the gear and frequencies involved. Check out the ubnt 365 or m5 gear. Cheap as in disposable. Works quite well. Then order a Comcast business connection there and call it a day. 16/2 or 50/10 for less than a t1 loop as long as your facility fees on the other side colo aren't too high.

Where I live, about 50 miles south of Atlanta down I-85, there is no consumer broadband at all.
Satellite, Cellular, and T-1, those are my options.
A mile away, there are choices, but not here. I am sure we aren't the only neighborhood in this situation, even today.

And yet, I don't know of any location in the US with two cable operators.
We have 2 separate cable providers in our town. One of them is a division of the local telephone company, but it is still CATV plant. The telco also operates a FTTH service with IPTV video as well.
The result is that the big national CATV provider had incredibly good rates for a long time, and even after they were more than doubled, are still really good.
