Cable plant? That isn't a meaningful term relative to capacity. How does one define plant capacity? The sum of the line capacities? The average instantaneous throughput across the plant? The potential across a line? The sum of the input backbones up to dropped packets or some degree of latency? If 20,000 households are downloading at 1 mbps and the system only marginally slows, then capacity is at least 20 gbps. That's a kind of capacity, but I think what the question sought was what the user can expect at best on average at their site. All other capacities are irrelevant for the user. The only reason to want this information is for comparison purposes like in comparing cable and DSL. You'll be lucky to find anyone pulling better than T-1 speeds. 2.6 gbps tells me nothing.
