I can almost envision 100 Mbps burst capability if the channel bonding scheme comes to fruition, assuming, of course, that someone is actually pushing data at that rate and no one else on your plant segment is online at that given instant.  |

Copper/coaxial cables can handle up to 500 MBPS. The problem is with getting that speed is the need to upgrade the signal processors, switches and amplifiers. |

You forgot to mention a significant change in mindset regarding the manner in which cable companies provide services over said copper/coaxial cables. Raw capacity of the cable becomes an interesting factoid, however, how much of that can be harnessed for IP traffic when part of the spectrum is dedicated to broadcasting 80+ channels of analog television signal plus additional digital streams being broadcast containing multiplexed digital and HD video?
