Based on what I have read, math is not a problem with South Korea and Hong Kong. South Korea has publicly stated their target bandwidth to homes and small businesses is 155 megabits, to be delivered via fiber. Hong Kong is planning to deliver Gigabit Ethernet via fiber.
There is little incentive for fiber or wireless systems that deliver broadband to use asynchronous bandwidth (what the telcos and the cable company do). What I typically see when there are bandwidth usage issues on Ethernet systems is putting a cap on total bandwidth (e.g. so many gigabits per day, etc.) which is fundamentally different, and does not limit services the same way asynchronous systems do.
