Chișinău - the capital of Moldova, the poorest country in Europe - had fiber Internet back in 2008. I don't think North America couldn't afford fiber earlier too, it's just why do it when your current infrastructure works and you can milk the customers as you please due to lack of competition.

Telco class equipment is not exactly cheap in any standard.
