Just signed an office lease and the wifi quotes are insane—anyone dealt with this?

We just signed a lease for a basement office and I'm honestly floored by the internet quotes. $217 a month for business wifi in a small town feels like a lot, but maybe I'm wrong?

We've been getting by on mobile hotspot for our small team, but we're burning through data fast. We're a marketing agency, so there's constant video work—downloading, editing, uploading. Good internet would genuinely change how we operate.

I looked into Verizon small business but heard the speeds aren't great, and I don't need phone lines. The local ISP wants that $217. I even thought about asking other businesses in our building to split an upgrade, but that feels like too much.

So I'm wondering—what are my actual options here? Is $217 reasonable for business internet, or should I be looking elsewhere? Any small business owners dealt with this before?
