Eli5: How do large properties/campuses have such large bandwidths for internet

779 views

How are they able to support thousands of users at one time? I do a speed test and they aren’t like fiber optics level of speeds so how can they have so many users at one time? Is it because there are so many routers placed around the area? But even when I’m on campus I don’t see any wireless routers outside.

My college was directly connected to the main internet line, they were their own ISP. I had about half a gigabit in speed from my dorm, npt that I ever used all of it
