While you are the expert on what's available to you, your situation remains highly atypical.
For 2014, the FCC reported 88% of US households had at least 2 fixed-line 3Mbps+ providers – and 98% had 2+ wireless 3MBps+ providers.
You should get more options! But FCC regulations on ISPs in multi-provider markets won't help those arrive for you, and could hurt.
Those currently $200-a-month LTE/microwave options won't come down in cost faster with more federal restrictions on how the ISPs can charge or cross-subsidize.
(I added words about the FCC's "goalpost-moving" but don't know what you mean about me moving goalposts.)
