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

That depends on the area. 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):

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.
