$11B year for 20M homes = $550/year per home = $45 monthly

Currently Google charges $70/mo for the service. The numbers doesn't look that bad to me, am i missing something?

"we estimate the annual [capital expenditure] investment required to be in the order of $11 billion to pass the homes, before acquiring or connecting a single customer."

The statement is a bit ambiguous, perhaps the problem is that it costs $11B just to reach 20M homes, regardless of whether or not they choose to purchase the service, in which case they would be losing a lot of money.

And there is so much more value that comes from them providing this.
