Things have changed a lot since the days of DOCSIS 1.0 and coaxial running all the way back to the cable office instead of terminating on fiber less than a few blocks from the house. DOCSIS 3.0 and a medium/high split means the Coax portion of the hybrid fiber/coax system actual has a poo poo-ton of bandwidth. And the fiber back to the datacenter/head office is generally 1/10 Gb. That means that once you're in the datacenter, getting a fiber link to the internet consists of plugging their switch into your switch, and routing out to the internet that way. If this ended up being a thing, you'd see Time Warner/Cox et al hemorrhaging customers to 3rd parties. Park a big Akamai/Netflix/Google CDN in the datacenter, and each of the little 3rd party ISPs suddenly have much better service to these sites than Cox, and when you call to complain, an actual person willing to do more than deny there is an issue then drop your call will answer. I really hope we get a full Title II ruling and the lawsuits opposing them end up losing big.
