Not that what we have seen. Fiber installations have been more expensive for base prices than cable.

Also, the costs are going *DOWN* EPB has 100Mbps FD FTTH for $57.99/mo. 1Gbps is $69.99/mo. 10Gbps is $299/mo US Internet is 50Mbps for $39.95/mo, 100Mbps for $47.95/mo, 1Gbps for $65/mo 2.5Gbps for $99/mo, 5Gbps for $199/mo, and 10Gbps is $399/mo CSpire is $70/mo for 1Gbps wireless (not sure how they are providing this), and $80/mo for 1Gbps AT&T is 80Mbps for $80/mo, or 1Gbps for $110/mo - down to $80/mo for 1Gbps in markets where it competes or plans to compete with Google Fiber (which is $70/mo for 1Gbps). That's 18 markets today, 23 markets in 1st part of the year Here's the Comcast xfinity 2Gbps map (what they claim anyway): http://www.xfinity.com/multi-gig-offers.html DOCSIS 3.1 rollouts are happening now, as well as G.FAST. Sonic in California has also been rolling out 1Gbps FTTH, although I am unsure of their pricing. I wouldn't be surprised to see at least 250Mbps and up in 50+ major US markets by the end of the year, for under $75/mo.
