It's funny because we actually have three fiber providers where I am now. They all have their own last mile runs, with fiber to the home. And none of them even offer 10Gb. It makes no sense. At this point fiber itself is way cheaper than copper. 10Gb/s switching equipment is cheaper than 1Gb/s was 15 years ago. The infrastructure is literally there, and it's like nobody cares.
