My inlaws live in a small village (pop. 60) just outside of a small town (pop. 2793) in central Portugal, and have a good fiber connection.
And ever since DIGI came into the portuguese market last year, I have had a 1 gigabit fiber connection at home and 2 cellphones with unlimited data plans for €20/month. And it's going down to €19 this month :)

Yay for fibre! I can hardly imagine the last few decades without it. Reading horror stories on the internet about downloading games for a day feels like reading about a starving village without roads. Same with GSM data (we had GPRS, UMTS, etc about when they came out). Or the price of an SMS in late 90s/early 2000. Imagine not having unlimited SMS as a teen. It's wild that rich, developed countries lacked basic infrastructure, and then they overpaid sooo much for it.
