Comcast's 6Gbps service is a niche product with probably <1000 customers.
It requires knowledge and persistence from the customer to actually get it
installed, a process that can take many months (It's basically MetroE). It
requires you to be within 1760ft of available fiber, with some limit on
install cost if trenching is required. In some cases, you may be able to
trench yourself, or cover some of the costs (usually thousands to tens of
thousands).
