I live in Cupertino (very suburban Silicon Valley) and I was paying $40/mo for 50/15Mbps. About a year ago I upgraded to symmetric gigabit for $80/mo. And this is AT&T (I would get Sonic if AT&T didn't block them!).
Oh, and as it turns out, I could also get 300Mbps from Comcast for $80/mo.
So I don't think density is the real issue here. It's like they said in the article, competition. They only reason AT&T started rolling out fiber was because Comcast has the 300Mbps service and they wanted to come out ahead.
