How much would it cost per mile to run fiber optic cables in 2018 to create an ISP?

I live in a rural area in Northern California, where there's only 1 choice for wired internet. I'm not too worried about the feasibility of running the network, as if needed there's a nearby town that's fairly dense for the area with 13000 people that also only has one isp with broadband speeds, so it's not saturated, and they charge a LOT and are not capable of super high speeds. A lot of land is private here, so it shouldn't be too hard to get permission to do digging and such, and the ISP that serves our area has now tipped over $100 a month for the cheapest internet plan that doesn't have a 250GB data cap, which is outrageous. What exactly does it cost per mile to lay out a fiber to the home network, capable of providing homes with 100mbps and 1gbps speeds (Possibly more?)
