I don't think it costs that much in terms of paying the municipality to lay a new set of cables. I'd guess most cities would be happy to have you. But it is expensive. Digging a trench to the house, installing the wire, filling the trench back up, you gotta pay someone for that. And you have to pay the crews that lay the wire. Then you have to pay people to block the street, probably there is some fee to the police involved. Of course this does not even count peering costs and the cost of people to manage and maintain the network. I'd not be surprised if the labor costs were in the hundreds of dollars per house, and much larger for the street portion of the laying.
