It depends how much you pay. I'm in a city 180km from Shanghai and switched to optical fiber recently with no extra charge. I have a plan of 7Mpbs including TV and internet with price of around 200 dollars equivalent per year. They have 20Mpbs plan but the price is different. The internet connection is still 4Mbps as I tested. The TV is much better than before. In Canada I use cable service, with the same speed I pay 50 dollars per month.
