A bit like copper telephone wires to the house, signal technology will
always evolve for the most popular medium.

Remember in band dial up starting at 1200/75 or 300/300 and ending at
28,800/28,800 bps, then some one had the bright idea of going out of
band and asymetrical starts with a 1 or 2 Mbps downlink ends with up
to 24 Mbps. Then some one has the idea fo shifting the head end from
the exchange to a cabinet and now that (if some what shorter) bit of
copper is carrying up to 78 Mbps...

Slowest annoyance will be the upstream from his internet connection.
It's going to be a fair while before an upstream of 100Mbps becomes
commonplace let alone Gbps.

I wouldn't be to sure, it's not a great leap to put GPON in the
cabinet instead of VDSL. The problem is installing the fibre from
cabinet to existing premises, new build on the other hand...
