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

637 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.

To answer the speed test question, all the Waps at our school are limited to ~100 mbits but we have 2000mbits into the school. Have to login to the server to see those speeds on a speed test.
