If I recall correctly, the 90s was full of companies laying down huge swaths of optic fiber in the US, waiting for consumers to pay hundreds of dollars a month for ultra-high-speed Internet. Most of them went bankrupt before people started clamoring for high speed Internet.
Even now, people still want to keep paying $40 a month, but at the same time want telcos to completely upgrade all the infra to support gigabit speeds.
In Canada, HSI access doesn't generally come to rural communities with subsidization from the government.
