I wish I had fiber as an option at all in our area.

Only options are comcast or DSL. Both suck.

I got cable (spectrum) with terrible latency, T-Mobile 5g, this one was new this year, and DSL... I do wish i was closer to that fiber line lol

Have you checked lately? There's WISPs popping up all the time and there are more cellular based options than ever. I'm using T-Mobile for $50/month I'm getting 250Mbps download.
