That would be sweet. They were spewing fiber all over Denver when I lived there in 2003. Mine from Comcast is about $125 for 'net and HD DVR. Way too much. HD picture is better (and more reliable) than satellite and cheaper for the number of channels.
When I had my FTA receiver, before the sat cos. went to Nagra3 encryption, I had almost 1000 channels for $0/month, all the Dish and Bev stuff, all sports packages and premium channels. My dish is still up, with 5 LNBs on it, just sitting there... They just beam the stuff all over the place through the air, you just have to know how to reach out and grab it...
