>>The boundaries of the coaxial end point are in the range of roughly 1 GHz along the last mile, translating roughly to between 10 to 20 Gb/s,

You are correct, thanks for pointing it out. I guess my memory is badly flawed and my brain not working.

Simply take 100 channels at 80Mb/sec and you get 8Gb. Still bandwidth enough to impress. Still enough bandwidth to carry 2000-4000 channels of video to nodes of only 500 homes.

The essense of the post is still valid. Without the analog TV coax has more than enough *downstream* bandwidth to handle all the applications people could reasonably imagine.
Upstream is another issue...

At times like these I wish I had the ability to go back and delete a post that was in error.

Best I can do: IGNORE POST # 14575
