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

643 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.

The rest of the world has really good internet. Here in Vancouver BC we have 2.5Gbit fibre to home. It’s really nice. We had to get a rack mount router to handle it.
