Broadband access via a cable modem is achieved
by transmitting data over an existing hybrid fibre/coaxial cable (HFC)
network installed for delivering cable television.
These HFC channels can operate
at 27-56 Mbps downstream and up to 10 Mbps upstream.
However,
this bandwidth is usually shared between subscribers and typical data
rates from a cable modem range from 0.5-1.5
Mbps.
