Cost per mile for installing fiber on telephone poles

I have an ILEC, a monopoly that is the only internet provider in the area. Over the last few decades they have done nothing without being bribed every step of the way. Right now, some neighbors finally snapped and said that we would pay for a fiber line to come out to us (we're currently on satellite.)

They bid the line at $45k/mile for 3.5 miles on empty telephone poles. My question is, how much would you expect to pay for 144 count ribbon fiber on telephone poles? Is there a calculator just to determine the cost of the line (I can't find the price of 144 ribbon online)?
