Most modern cable systems already have fiber-optic backbones th
at terminate in fiber-coaxial neighborhood nodes. Each fiber node bridges to a coaxial feeder line that has 500 to 2000 cable drops (user sites). All users on a node share about 30 Mbps of downstream bandwidth and 512 Kbps to 10 Mbps of upstream bandwidth per channel, depending on the cable modem.

theoretical--and no language better exemplifies this than C++.
