In the bay area there's some overlap. I've seen places that have Webpass in addition to something else, but it's always a MDU and not a single family home. I'll edit it a bit to clarify.

From what I've seen fiber providers are split into these:

- $$$$$, business, anywhere, pay per mile to pull fiber

- old-ish home incumbents like Frontier, often strange plans like 100 Mbps and 200 Mbps or 250 Mbps - I have no idea what their equipment looks like to provide this

- planned neighborhood telcos like https://smartcitytelecom.com/residential/

- municipal fiber, local utility co (EPBCo, Longmont)

- MDU-only urban fiber (Google Fiber Webpass)
