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

619 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.

Its called a dedicated circuit. Companies buy bandwidth from the carrier thats not shared with anyone else, like you and your neighbor would be.
