I have to say, your idea is quite fantastical. I'm not sure I have enough brain cells to consider how it will work, remembering that vCPE's were all the rage in 2011, and ten years later, they seem to have fizzled out without a real-world deployment of note :-).
At any rate, with the current state-of-the-art, deploying Metro edge caches is within the realms of possibility. However, it's such a rich solution, that it will only likely ever work in a select group of cities around the world.
For the rest of us, a nearby data centre pumping cached content across fibre links all the way into homes is as good as we shall get. However, what this network looks like in 2021 vs. 2006, perhaps, allows us to reconsider the model.
One example that comes to mind is VoD-only ISP's, whose raison d'être is to deliver VoD content from local caches, with no infrastructure to support access to the global Internet. I'd be keen to build something like that, particularly in a world where the traditional infrastructure operator is a dying species.
