I did find my city's agreement by querying "cable franchise agreement $ISP $CITY" and was led to a PDF. There is a clause about "Standard Installation" within 125 ft being requirement, but I can't find anything about beyond that; which leads me to think they have reign to charge what they want.

Also requires something about 25 residences per cable-mile, which we definitely would have here. The public school 2 blocks from me also has a franchise-agreement for dedicated fiber connection.
