actually no in india we are already running fibre optic lines if you din't know so it is useless to run a fibre cable to the house where the distances from the exchnage are <5km and xdsl technology can carry upto 24mb/s on adsl 2+ and vdsl can do 50mb/s so it is useless to bring fibre optic to the home unless they plan on giving more than 50mb/s at 999 per month.... also latency in india is quite low.... and fibre wont make it any different... what they need to improve is the inter isp connections.... for better ping

Unfortunately, optic fibre connections aren't going to make a drastic change in pings. Most of our ping problems are because data is routed to another country and back, not because of bandwidth shortage. Nixi (National Internet Exchange of India) was helpful. I'm not sure how many ISPs are part of it today.
