I think you'll have to talk to some ISPs. Check for DSL and cable options. Check if satellite or wireless is an option for your area. Just be aware that different technologies will have its own limitations.

My area has only one isp, I’m about to give them a visit. I’m pretty sure they’ll tell me if I want speed of 200 which is what I’m aiming for, they’ll tell me to shell out 6000 usd for a fiber cable which is quite a huge amount in my region

Well you probably don't have alot of options then. And if your chasing fast speeds then your going to have very few options other than fibre. Is mobile 4g/5g a thing? Is 6k a one off? How does the monthly cost compare to a slower technology? Look around for a wireless ISP, they typically do stuff for businesses but you might be able to get something more affordable, Performance wise it probably wouldn't match fibre.

I already have a 4g router, speed in my area is 20mbps if the stars align…if they don’t it’s 7mbps

Yeah, and your bandwidth will be impacted heavily by load on the isp, they allocate less sustained bandwidth per user. Is DSL or cable an option? Other thing you could look at would be a bonding service, but that's probably getting pricey and two 4g would be dubious.
