Probably because not many people can get it. Not widely available in 
Manhattan yet...

BTW, several years ago the rules changed so that local telco's dont have 
to share fiber like they do for copper (very monopoly-friendly). But it 
seems Verizon has made a deal with DSL Extreme for wholesale fiber, so 
they are the first company to offer second-tier fiber.

Don't know if they have any facilities in NYC though.
