The average US single family home price is around $200k[1]. It's not going to go up in value by $50k because of fiber, even if you could expand your home equity line by enough to get it (and in my neighborhood where the median is something like $400-500k, you'd get laughed out of the bank). What you mean to say is "in a microscopically tiny portion of the housing market where high-tech convenience is a driver of housing cost, and housing costs are several times the national average, a $50k expenditure to call the cable companies bluff might make sense".
