Also home/private access (talking DSL here, not E1/T1!) usually is
overbooked 25:1, whereas business connection are usually between 10:1 and
1:1 rates...

Assuming the 10:1 ratio vs. 25:1, it would mean a company would have to
pay 2,5 times what a customer pays for the ISP to make the same... at 4:1
(another common ratio) that would be 6.25 times as much...

At EUR 75 for a home connection that'd be USD 525 for the business at 4:1
ratio...

I can imagine the home fiber connection will probably be multiplexed to
share a single uplink with x other homes as well, so you'd probably be
looking at similar issues as I mentioned regarding the DSL ...
