My home’s cable connection hasn’t been updated since it was put in 30+ years ago, so how can it continually get faster and faster as internet speeds improve?

Question

What terminal enhancements are being made? Is there a limit to how fast it can go?

I’m getting 940mbps over a copper wire. Blows my mind.

I can’t tell you the exact numbers on things but the cable is not much different then it’s been the last 40+ years. Rg6 cable has been used for 20-30 years at least and still is. Rg5 could be what you have in the house and it’s not much different. But the wire drop to the house has most likely been upgraded. The cable itself is very basic. It’s the equipment that has been upgraded.
