The great thing about Cable modems is that there is a great deal of dark fiber optic cable. Lighting up the dark cable is easy.

The problems are two fold. My information leads me to believe that the switches to run cable modems are very expensive at the cable substations. If this is true then the cable company is encouraged to install as few as they can. This forces a great number of users onto each loop. This leads us to problem two. The greater the number of users on each loop, the less available throughput per user.
