Not sure what urban fiber costs, but in rural the overall cost of Fiber-to-the-home comes out to at least $30-40k a mile for aerial construction, which is legitimately hard to make work if you have less than 10 homes per mile without some subsidy.

The cost is ~30% cheaper if you are a telephone company though and can overlash the fiber on your existing telephone lines.
