Doesn't this mean that they will have to run new physical cable?
No. The important parts of the fiber network are in place. They can reach a very large number of homes with exsisting infrastructure.

Not even close.  The typical fiber deployment runs 2 to 6 fibers to serve anywhere from 250 to 1,000 homes.  There are very, very few fiber deployments that were designed to provide fiber to every home.
