The bandwidth of a multi mode line is high. The bandwidth of the modems, switches, routers and data centers is much more finite.
You don’t really seem to understand the concurrency of transmissions, redundancy, and how much copper there still is. ISPs are adding fiber all the time.

Those are all the things they can upgrade without expensively replacing the wire on the pole. The dominant cost of an ISP is not replacing their switches every five years. That often saves them money when newer equipment uses less power per unit data. And is typically necessary regardless because the older equipment falls out of support.
