In mass you are lucky if you get 2 options. My building finally got another company to connect after 12+ years of Comcast only. In suburbs around boston you get a mix of Comcast+RCN, Comcast only, Comcast+Verizon, Verizon only.
Ive usually seen 120 MBps/$80 as the max but in my aforementioned building Comcast sent us a friendly email saying we were being upgraded to 200 MBps at the same rate, the day before our building announced the second ISP available at 100 MBps/$69. That smells to me a lot like they always had the capacity, but never turned it on until they finally had competition.
Note: It looks like Comcast has started offering a 2000 MBps connection for 299 a month. Maybe it was just a coincidence that they were adding new capacity at the same time
