Go to city hall and see if you can get a copy of the agreement Charter has with the municipality. Sometimes there will be clauses that cover minimum densities per cable mile, etc.
It may be possible they’re required to provide you service.

I have a friend who is in a similar situation. 10 years ago he was being charged $2500 for a line from a major street to his place last year he got another quote and they're asking for $15k. He's just using cell data right now as its simply cheaper than dishing out 15k for a line and then having to be locked into a $150-$250/month internet plan.
They're typically for cable companies but they may apply to "fiber" providers as well. Not sure about that.

Also requires something about 25 residences per cable-mile, which we definitely would have here. The public school 2 blocks from me also has a franchise-agreement for dedicated fiber connection.
