Just how much bandwidth are those cables capable of carrying?
I've always wondered: is every cable channel coming to my house
simultaneously, plus all this broadband traffic? I seem to recall
hearing the number "155 megabit" sometime. Are they using most of it?
It seems like when they planned cable television in the 1970's they
sure planned in a whole heck of a lot of capacity.
