As another point of comparison, a new ISP in my area of London is offering symmetric gigabit fiber for £25/month or around $30/month (USD).

Your country requires ISPs to share and rent lines. That does a great deal for competition and lowering prices

$30/month USD compared to the average salary in London is pretty good. We unfortunately don't have much competition among ISP's here in the US.
