I love to see this, but it's a hard sell. Philly is one of the lucky cities with reasonable competition already, one of which is Verizon's Fios - decently built out through the city. A lot of new construction homes have both Comcast* and Fios pre-wired into the home, so installation is trivial and competition is, delightfully, fierce.
25M wireless connections at $50 are a hard sell against 1G fiber at $80.
I don't mean to be a debbie-downer about this, because I think promoting connectivity is a huge boon to society.
* Fun fact, the new Comcast building looks like a middle finger facing west - literally flipping off the rest of the country. Seems appropriate.
