Yup, my city has historically had mediocre Internet, and now they're rolling out fiber and advertising 10g/s at a relatively reasonable $200/month.

I'm probably not getting it anytime soon (I'm happy with my 50/20 service), but I know a few enthusiasts who will. I'll see what the final pricing looks like and decide if it's worth upgrading my infrastructure (only have wireless AC, so no point in going above 300mbps or so).
