Sounds like Road Runner with a million customers on the same circuit.

Garden variety DSL on locally run telephone co-op offers 6.0mbps here
in rural NC. Upload is 1.5 typically. It rarely hits 6.0 and get 5.0 most
days.

On the other hand:

New neighborhoods with fiber get close to 50 mbps.

Those numbers are pretty low.

What are reasonable expectations and suggested alternatives?

Currently I have Internet service through my local cable provider and I
am very satisfied with all aspects excepting upload/download speeds,
which have fallen precipitously this year. Speedtest.net gave me a
measurement of .39 Mbps download and .43 Mbps upload a few minutes ago.
