I think you can safely add that customers, and not just investors, don't like paying for network upgrades either. Since it is the customers who have to pay higher prices to pay for the higher costs. And also that MOST(not all) customers are more than happy with the speeds they are getting from copper.
My local ILEC is running fiber and offers internet, phone, and TV much cheaper than both U-Verse and Time Warner.
