It seems like you're comparing the cost of serving data out of a purpose built location to the cost of transporting it to and from an individual person. Not saying Comcast or Verizon are offering good or bad per GB prices just that it seems you're comparing the cost of your apples (unless your side project is a LOT larger than I'm assuming) and then saying the oranges are mispriced as a result.

I am, but this was with the implication that the last mile fiber was already built out, city/municipality-owned and you are already paying an access fee to use the cabling, therefore you are effectively just transporting packets to/from your own core anyway.
