Yes, that exists in a few places, there are ISPs like http://opennet.se/ that do those deals. But then the owner of the building, typically the housing co-op, foots the hardware bill, and each household chooses an actual ISP and is billed according to the chosen service.
It's a nice model, but costs more in total than other arrangements. My house is going to get hooked upto fibre this year, and I was checking up on this for my housing co-op, and the cheapest and best by far is to tie ourselves to a provider for five years and get a group deal. That way everyone in the house gets 100/100mbit for less than $20/month, and everyone can upgrade from that basic package to gigabit if they want, but that's currently costing ~$150 a month.
However, all of this is possible due to the Stockholm municipal fibre company, Stokab. They've been around for at least a decade now, digging up streets, laying fibre, hooking up buildings, and since they're making good profit, they're re-investing that into providing fibre for everyone in Stockholm.
