Technically there is no reason why HFC cannot be gigabit rates, the reason is the very short cable runs from the fibre node. The limits placed on it are artificial, more to do with ISP provisioning than anything else.
While fibre could be multi-gigbit rates, it's unlikely anyone really sees a benefit as the server side will never have the bandwidth to deliver gigabit rates to many users.
The thing that I cannot understand, is why is 4G and 5G wireless so expensive here? It rubbish, it's the cheapest roll-out option for the telcos and yet they charge the most!
