1000/200 per segment of course. So in a typical HFC network that can be shared between 40-400 homes.

If you try to squeeze in as many endpoints as possible, sure.

With a competently designed network, you wouldn't have anywhere near that many in a segment.

I'm on a 300/60 cable connection via my employer, and I have never had my connection test below 360/70. This is in an an area densely populated with apartment buildings, where cable is still the best option for most people, with some fiber rolling out.

I am however moving to a 100/100 fiber connection (plenty fast for my needs, with the faster upload speed), due to a change in employment that is not of my own choice. So I don't consider myself biased in favor of my current employer ;-)

60mbps upload on DOCSIS?? That's fancy. I feel like my 20mbps is luxurious, although it's laughable when you consider the fact that it's 800mbps down.
