An average residential hub( any that I've heard of) Cannot carry 100mb. It's physically impossible with the size of the hard cable and the quality of the equipment used. On a good residential hub, you might see 6mb in an area of low housing if it's reasonably close to the hub center. Maybe just a bit more if you're nearer the head end.Quote:

(the cables back to the ISP's exchange can handle at least 100 mbps) as the overall ISP internet bandwidth coming into the area.
100mb would require a fiber hub And distribution lines. With the fragility and high cost of fiberoptic drops(home distribution lines), you likely won't see that for some time.
