My ISP is in the middle of a project to roll out fiber to a specific neighborhood in my town. Before they'd begin construction, they required commitments from 56 (of 225) of the passed homes that they would take at least the (symmetric!) gigabit fiber service (at $70/mo for two years). They could add on other services (TV, landline, security system, etc.) as well, but that was the minimum. They're in "phase 3" and the whole thing will be completed in a couple more months so apparently they made it work.
As far as what it cost them to build out, etc., I really don't know.
