Cable companies will be moving away from coax last mile to ftth, at least the one I am working at is deploying a small test region this year. From what I understand in our meetings this movement is across the entire MSO

Another thing to consider when you talk about bandwidth rates, ISP's have no interest in catering to the 2% of their population that utilize 95% of their bandwidth. ISP's love when these users leave them to the competition. When more of the population does need a higher upstream/downstream, they will run more fiber, but for now it's not economical to cater to these people.
