Last summer the local cable company replaced all their cables in town in order to begin offering digital cable and internet service. I was flabbergasted that they they spent all that money on linemen but still ran coax rather than fiber. As far as I can tell talking to their linemen, its not even FTTN, just FTT-central-office.
Assuming its not run by morons, which I'll accept is a bit of a stretch for a cable company, there must be some other reason to not run fiber for new installations.
