>>>In Austin, you’re lucky to get 1G anywhere.

That's depressing, especially for a US "tech hub". I'm in an irrelevant-but-dense urban area of Japan and have 1G fiber @ <$40 / month.

In the entire US, you are lucky to get fiber at all. Almost all people have a choice of only garbage asymmetric over subscribed coaxial cable with no other choice. A significant portion do not even have that. So few have fiber, that I disqualified 90%+ of the houses that came up in my searches when I was searching for a home.
