Huh? Business class coax in my area is 1 Gb down. And yes, it does reach those speeds. Are you thinking of DSL?

- rsynnott 3y agoIs this a relatively urban area, though? Generally, high speed coax networks these days consist of a relatively short, often shared stretch of coax, connecting back to a fibre-optic node. You’re looking at something like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_fiber-coaxial#/media/File:HFC_Network_Diagram.svg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_fiber-coaxial#/media/Fi... If the premises served are low-density enough, you may be looking at only one or two per coax section, and at that point you’re probably cheaper just using fibre to the premises anyway.
- bongodongobob 3y agoAh I see what you mean now. Yeah, it's most likely fiber backbone and coax last mile. I thought you meant it was a limit of the physical medium.
