Greg, not sure the question you asked was answered. Since there is no ONE answer due to differences in cable plant, modulation, usage models, and a host of other things, I'll give typicals. In terms of the cable plant , not individual connections, the limiting point for any given user is inside the neighborhood node, which is coax (this is all they see of the network, and the details outside this point are unimportant since it is a multiplex of data they will never see). This portion of the plant generally reaches 750MHz in an upgraded HFC plant. Each user connection attains this bandwidth for tuning. Generally, upstream extends from 5 to 42 MHz. A "fully equipped" HFC plant is generally meant to deliver telephony, legacy broadcast analog, broadcast digital, pointcast channels, and unicast data, at a minimum.
