Not only that, but more users for them means more money to buy hardware and upstream bandwidth and hopefully some profit. That's the reason people are paying them.
Perhaps telecom is different than most markets, but more users generally drives costs down, not up.
Agreed, there is only so much that can be fixed with hardware (hardware would help spotty coverage in the US, for example).
As has been stated earlier, if they can't provide it, they shouldn't be selling it (and if the laws of physics don't permit what they are selling, they shouldn't be selling it).

They will have to buy it from some other company then: if they don't have the bandwith, they shouldn't sell it.

Wireless bandwidth is absolutely limited - there is only one "over-the-air" channel. Well, one per tower, kind of.
Then, to buy from somebody else you have to presuppose some open, free market with excess bandwidth. That doesn't exist today.
