Happy to help (you can ping me off-list). The main products are DOCSIS and PON 
these days and it kind of depends where you are, whether it is a new build, 
etc. As others said, it gets super complicated in MDUs and the infrastructure 
in place and the building agreements vary quite a bit.

chat

Comcast's 6Gbps service is a niche product with probably <1000 customers. It 
requires knowledge and persistence from the customer to actually get it 
installed, a process that can take many months (It's basically MetroE). It 
requires you to be within 1760ft of available fiber, with some limit on install 
cost if trenching is required. In some cases, you may be able to trench 
yourself, or cover some of the costs (usually thousands to tens of thousands).

 The fiber has basically infinite capacity.

in theory, but once you start aggregating it and having to pay for equipment
that can handle the rates, your 'infinite capaicty' starts to run out really
fast.
