Depends on the technology and where that limit is.

Increasing bandwidth to the cable head end or FTTN? Trivial.

Replacing DOCSIS 2 equipment with 3.2 equipment? More expensive.

Running actual FTTH? Hard, large upfront costs, but you have an asset with a 30+ year life span that’s cheaper to maintain than copper.
