There's no reason to artificially limit the speed. If your city has fibre, everyone can have gigabit internet.
There's no savings for the ISP to throttle your pipe.

Many fiber ISPs will offer a 1 Gbps/1 Gbps standard plan and a cheaper plan e.g. 100 Mbps/100 Mbps. This allows customers to get fiber broadband even if they do not want to pay $70/mo.

Most ISPs are guaranteed a monopoly by the local government, so anything they can charge for, they will charge for, because there's no other option.
