Spectrum Internet Speeds
Spectrum utilizes an HFC (Hybrid Fiber-Coaxial) network to provide wired broadband services. This technology involves transmitting data through fiber lines for the majority of the journey to customers but switching to older coaxial cable lines for shorter distances within neighborhoods. The length of this coaxial "hop" varies, resulting in download speeds ranging from 300 Mbps to 1 Gbps (wireless speeds may vary), and upload speeds up to 35 Mbps (wireless speeds may vary). However, HFC or "cable" networks have a limitation known as bandwidth sharing. This occurs because multiple residences are connected to a single fiber "node" in the area. To illustrate, it's akin to branches on a tree becoming narrower as they extend outward. If one branch requires more water, the tree might allocate more resources to that branch, potentially affecting the other branches. This phenomenon becomes evident during peak usage hours, particularly in the late afternoon and evening. During these times, when most customers are streaming content on Over the Top (OTT) services like Netflix, there is a noticeable reduction in internet speeds for many users.
