Yeah, it's not "nowhere" - but it's really far from "everywhere" considering we've been rolling it out for 25 years now. I think you're right: glass is cheaper than copper these days, and if they've got to repair/replace the copper it's probably cheaper to just run the glass. They put a line down the main road 1/4 mile from our home last year (suburban area in a 1M pop city), and lots of people who live on that main road have gotten fiber to the home service, but they're not interested in running the extra 1500 feet to reach us yet. I'd guess in our city of 1M, maybe 200,000 have potential fiber to the home service if they want it, the rest of us are stuck with re-heated cable TV co-ax for our broadband.
