It takes a lot of time and $ to deploy an entirely new network. It's actually all fiber from the office to your house, unlike the Cox "fiber" network, that is really fiber to hubs , then copper to your house, just like verizon's old network.
These things don't happen overnight.
And at the rate these fuckers are going, our fiber to rooftop will be in this area in 2020. They move backwards in the 757 (at least COX seems too)

Cox is fiber from the hubs to the neighborhoods. It's the "last mile" that is actuall coax. The coax network is getting smaller and smaller.

About to go back to Cox..... Verizon/Directv can't even bill us right!
We have been getting billed seperately and have a bill from each for over $100 and I was suppose to be getting the 108.90 package + movies + extra recievers

The 'old' network will be a thing of the past in the next few years. But somewhere along the line, there will always be copper. It might be fiber to the modem or even fiber to the chipset... but eventually, it's gotta go D/A and will have a bottleneck at some point.
