The limiting factor is the kit of each end of the cable. Which is why you've gone from analogue TV, no On-Demand and no broadband to 100Mbit broadband, plus Digital TV and On Demand without having to replace the cables

While this is true, digital TV multiplexes carry several TV channels (or on demand streams) in the same bandwidth of one analogue channel.
Broadband has seen improvements with DOCSIS3 being rolled out.
The Olympics aren't prompting any such new technology. There's just going to be a huge increase in the amount of bandwidth being used. It's certainly there, but whether or not they'd want to keep it for TV permanently is another matter.
