    Is the money supposed to completely pay for it or is it a subsidy? If it’s a subsidy then $30 seems fine. High speed Internet at around $50 seems pretty common.

      Idk. Where I live the cheapest option is like $65. I think one company offers 10mb for less, but for obvious reasons I haven’t switched to that.
