That too. To ISP it pays off to future-proof to a degree. More to the point, it's easier to aggregate high bandwidth users since no one will be using full connection speed all the time, it's simply impossible. So with 100Gbps they can give 25Gbps service to a lot more people than 4. Closer to 40 or so. Good marketing, test and prepare for future at a decent investment now. It's how things should be.
