Welp, I feel very poor now. UK VDSL 50/10mbps for the most part, about £30/mo I think.

Don't feel too bad, at least you have some bandwith. ADSL (10/1 mbps) is the only thing available in my part of rural Texas, besides satellite 🤮, and I'm paying $65/month

Isn't Starlink supposed to be ok?

Yeah it's nuts. Where i came from we had a couple of broadband options but in this place its like an information desert. The house didn't even have the connection when we first arrived, it cost about $400 for the DSL install.
