I pay $150/month for 300/8 at home and that's the best upload I can get
where I live ... in a major city. 

Outside of DC area, < $50/mo at 200/200. Because there is competition in the local market between Verizon and Cox.

Once OneWeb and Starlink become a thing, a lot of providers that have enjoyed a monopoly may have competition. This is on top of 5G in dense markets. Competition can drive the market faster.
