You're not really having to change out equipment for one. It's an investment. It's also completely possible for a single strand of glass in the ground to carry more than 6Tbps of bandwidth.
That said, we will be selling IPTV and Phone as well. Our average user plan will probably be around $124-$145/mo. Some will be higher, some lower. We are selling local service, reliability (design, hot spares, cold spares), and no hidden costs or fees. What you pay for is what you get (minimum of 125Mbps on the up to 1Gbps plan, only exception). If they want cheap shit that sometimes works and has problems at peak, they can pick a cable operator.
