The power companies in my area started installing fiber on the power lines and running their own ISPs.

No data caps or anything, I'm raw dogging these torrents at like 80 megabytes a second, I even started running my own home server

80 megaBYTES? What part of the US are you in?

Mississippi

I absolutely refuse to measure speeds in bits.

Gigabit fiber is a thing, and not at all uncommon in a lot of places.
