100Mbps symmetrical cable internet was available some residential areas in the Bay Area in the early 2000s. Better upload than I have now in 2020!


Multi Tbps internet is available to certain academic institutions, how much did it cost in the early 2000s? And was it really meant for a single home use?

My computer in 2000 could not handle a 100 Mbps connection, and only had 32 MB of ram as I recall. The 100 Mbps may have been targeted towards businesses operating servers in a home address that were and are relatively common in the bay.


The cable provider was literally called @Home so they were definitely geared towards residential customers :)
