Several ISPs in NZ will sell you 10G fibre (advertised as 8G) for that, if you're in urban areas with 100G handover links - otherwise, they'll only sell 4G plans due to the risk of congestion.

I believe 1000/500 is now the most common plan as the cost is barely more than the 300/100 plans

Write to the FCC asking them to unbundle the retail divisions of your ISPs from the wholesale and physical plant divisions. And regulate the fuck out of the pricing and services offered by the monopolistic wholesalers.
