Even TWC provides a 330/20 service for $70/m in my (and many) neighborhoods in Manhattan. Obviously gigabit symmetrical would be nice, but it's far from "really bad" (and probably explains why it's not a great target for Google Fiber). That being said, there are neighborhoods that don't have anything close to this level of service in NYC, but I doubt they would be targeted by Google Fiber in the beginning. Not to mention the fiasco that FiOS is going through right now is probably a big warning to stay far far away.
