The ISPs have tried, but they get pushback from local residents whenever they try to install the necessary network boxes at intervals down the street. They had to go out of their way to hide cellular towers as streetlamps to get the 5G rollout to happen; I remember getting two or three notices for this (each from different telcos, so the one street corner has three streetlamps and two traffic lights on one corner).

1) Sprout the streetlamp from the box, add a car charging port.
2) Hire an artist to paint the box with artwork (property owner gets to pick from option set). Consider it to be city owned art installations.
For me, the problem has mostly manifested as web pages failing to load or appearing to be loading forever. Generally when I refresh the page would load quickly as expected.
