Maybe, we'll see. Fiber has so much more bandwidth, though. With wireless you're limited by certain radio frequencies.
Of course, Elon Musk (and competitors) plan to launch a fleet of low-orbit satellites that will cover the country. It will offer 30ms latency and 1 Gbps speeds which is about the same as a wired connection. Current satellite Internet sucks because it has around 600ms latency, which isn't very enjoyable.
Satellite Internet, of course, uses radio waves just as terrestrial wireless. While they may be able to provide 1 Gbps now, will they be able to offer 10 Gbps or 100 Gbps tomorrow? Will there be enough radio spectrum available? Fiber will have no problems as several Terabits have already been demonstrated in test equipment.

Exactly, it all comes to fiber eventually, so it won't be able to surpass it

I can download at 35mbs on a 4G hotspot from an Iphone, seems pretty good. When 5G is widely available with 1gbs it will be plenty fast for consumer applications. I don't see T/VZ investing too much in in wired internet services once 5G is rolled out, the field costs to deploy and maintain wireless service is peanuts compared to copper and fiber.
