That's because fiber by itself doesn't sell.
Verizon spent billions rolling out FiOS to the markets in which they've currently deployed, and despite having a clearly superior technology they're not hitting higher than a 20% adoption rate. General Motors aside, most companies don't pump a lot of investment into developing products that people don't buy.
Their delivery medium is advanced, not their content. Content is what sells and most people don't care how their content is delivered. Cable does just a good job if not better in a lot of content areas. I just switched to FiOs and have 25/25 internet service. You cant tell the difference surfing on 25/25 from the 6/2 I got with OOL.
