That all depends. Most have deployed FTTN. So it really depends how far off that node connection is. Where I live it isn't very far at all. Extending it to each house will involve costs, but not as much (nearly) as what Verizon is enduring with FiOS.
Exactly. Cable has the advantage of being able to do lots of things incrementally, whereas something like FiOS is a complete rebuild - that's obviously going to cost more.
