I'd guess that most of those households are still getting a cable or satellite TV package. My OTT-exclusive household routinely breaks 100GB/month, and we aren't even very heavy TV watchers by American standards. To get that at equivalent speeds is an order of magnitude more expensive from every wireless provider I've checked, after eliminating the ones that don't even offer an equivalent combination (e.g. ~$700/month from Verizon, ~$1000/month from a local WISP). I'm not a metro-scale wireless guru, but I have a hard time believing that any realistic 5G deployment is going to have enough capacity to handle a large-scale exodus from wired connections.
