It doesn't matter if they install fiberoptic to every house in the
neighborhood; all of that data still has to go through a central hub.
If, as Darren says, their link to the outside world is already
saturated, that's what's going to limit you.
In my case, I'm paying for a 5 Mbit line (~600KB). Most of the time, I
can get between 50-75% of that, and only occasionally higher sustained.
