My fiber ISP runs single mode to my home. And it means it's all single mode on the pole for the neighborhood.

Multimode just isn't used all that much anymore. We replaced all fiber links in our DCs with single mode recently. It's just cheaper, and as the other person said: Its far more future proof.
