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

761 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.

At home you might have one access point or cable service a few blocks. A large company or school many have 2 or 3 just for them.

1 Gb connection servicing 100 houses or 1 100gb or more connection for 1 company.
