There are plenty of midspeed packages so switching from cable/VDSL to
fibre lets the ISPs sell you slow fibre for the same as VDSL etc.
I have a 20/130Mbps cable package. My road was fibred and the same
package was £17/month cheaper on fibre than cable. I could get moved to
fibre and eventually move to 900/900Mbps. I moaned and moaned at the
cable provider (Virgin) and they price matched the cable to stop me
leaving. I didn't have to change anything which suits a lazy sod like me.
