TECHNICALLY that's possible, but very highly unlikely in this day and age unless one lives in the middle of nowhere where the local cable node only has enough bandwidth to handle 10 people. That's how it was back in the (19)80's and 90's when cable was new. It's doubtful that ever happens anymore. DSL (where it still exists) it is more likely. Xfinity is selling 1Gbps pipes to homes so you can be sure your bandwidth will be solid.

Fiber ... I'm jealous of those who can get it. We missed by about 1/2 mile here. Always had Verizon Fios in NJ. Best CL could offer us is 20Mbps circa 1980 DSL here. Tried that for 2 weeks when we first moved in and never got more than 2-3Mbps 'cause we're probably at the furthest end from CL DSLAM. Was desperately trying to avoid ComCrap but it turns out they have been 99% reliable in the 5+ years we had them here after those horrible first 2 weeks with C.L. DSL. Those were and are the ONLY options available here. CL DSL or Xfinity/ComCrap. I'd love to see them bring in fiber here but it'll never happen in my remaining lifetime.
