I would be happy to have any fiber at all. The only options here are satellite and DSL. The DSL is basically unusable and only available to existing customers. I'm pretty sure the ISP wants to make everyone cancel so they don't have to maintain the copper lines anymore.

    They do. Copper lines are all converted to digital and fiber upstream, but the government says they have to maintain the copper for now because some people still rely on it.

    Same here. I have 80-90 Mbps download with up to 20 Mbps upload max at best conditions. Still better than no internet.
