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.

Answer 1

According to the tech who installed my new cable drop the top end for coax cable is 2500-2750mbps even the ones installed when my house was built in 1976. Given the rising number of households not sharing that bandwidth with a cable tv signal and rising profitability of higher internet speeds teaching those caps will not take another 50 years.
