> ISPs may as well offer 10gbps as a default

You're thinking with a technical mind, but don't forget the business, marketing, legal and support.

Why have "unlimited" speed as baseline while you can charge some 10 times more for the privilege?

Also don't forget that if you sell "10gbps internet" you might have to legally guarantee a percentage of that. Or you have to explain how networking works to everyone who complains they never see 10gbps on Speedtest.net.

Also the more you offer, the more expensive your modem has to be.
