Say I have comcast internet. I connect a modem to a coaxial wire that is connected to the wall. where does it go after that? does my coaxial cable combine with other users' coaxial before heading to a comcast central office? are there huge conduits for these wires running all over the city? is it underground or on telephone polls or both? does my bandwidth effect my neighbors bandwidth? what's the top speed that this coaxial cable can support? where is it heading, like I have a 50Mbps connection, will this become 2Gbps one day or will the medium of the wire need to be changed before that's possible?
In most cases Fiber. – Ramhound – 2016-07-04T18:38:11.337
You should read on DOCSIS, the technology used by cable modems which uses a form of multiplexing. – Julie Pelletier – 2016-07-04T18:38:18.453
