Google Fiber did some variety of this:

> Google Fiber works better when communities are connected together. So we’ve divided Kansas City into small communities we call “fiberhoods.” We’ll install only where there’s enough interest, and we’ll install sooner in fiberhoods where there’s more interest.

Google fiber was a flop as those of us who played in the ISP land knew it was going to be.

Being an ISP is running an sewage treatment network. It is not sexy.

I have a gigabit connection, and regularly verify my bandwidth. It's usually not actually in four digits, but I see 800+ megabit on a pretty regular basis.

Admittedly, not FIOS.
