This is also part of the problem with net neutrality. Right now, there is no reason for ISP's to change what they are doing now. I believe that part of the net neutrality debate, might be wrong and it might be a totally different set of rules, is the definition of broadband. FCC wants to change that definition from I think around 1 mbps to 10-25 mbps and even up to 1 gbps. DSL is fighting this, since it would make them obsolete. Cable is fighting it, because they know they are next. And fiber is pushing for it because they get the 1 gbps. In the end, on the consumer side, we are stuck with dinosaurs and are watching as a meteor comes closer and closer. Most households are limited on their selection of ISP's. I know in my area, and this is Los Angeles mind you not some rural nowhere area, the choice is DSL or cable, with only one cable company supplying. They have fiber to the junction box, but since that box is about 150 yards away, the fiber speed is still the same as dsl.
On top of that, the flip side is that the ISP's want to charge the websites for bandwidth. So even if you have fiber, if Netflix doesn't pay say Google to keep them in the fast lane, you could still have DSL speeds to them. Now multiply that by tens or even hundreds of ISP's that Netflix has to pay. And imagine if you are a startup tech company, how much you have to pay just to stay competitive. Because in games, apps, websites, if you are slow, you got to go.
This situation is going to get ugly. And the Dems might have just found the right topic to send the voters back their way in 2 years.
