In a heartbeat for fiber to my house.
I am sure most broadband users here would drop that kind of money in a heartbeat. I know I would. However, would common broadband users? I can tell you that a majority of users out there who just surf a little and get their email wouldn't. Heck, they can't fathom paying more than $45 a month for their service. So yes, this is the reason why fiber isn't deployed everywhere. Not every area can afford it much the less pay for it. You will see this in rich suburbs where a majority of people would pay for the service before you will see it anywhere else.
That is the one drawback of fiber is the cost of equipment and last mile install. We ran 500 feet of fiber and the equipment and fiber costed us over $3,000. That is a heck of a lot of money. However, no signal depravation like you would see over 328 feet with ethernet.
