It's quite simple

GREED. In the US, we utilize around 16% to 20% of our fiber optic capacity already in place. Bandwidth is not a commodity, just an excuse for raping the consumer.

That is true, plus there is 50x more capacity in dark fiber. And if you use more expensive equipment to light the fiber, for all purposes it is unlimited bandwidth on the fiber network.

But, that backbone is not the bottleneck. The bottleneck is getting that bandwidth to residential and small business customers.
