  • How does so much data go through a single-pin coax cable? Wouldn’t it be better if there were more pins, like in a twinax configuration?

    Think of your modem like a radio, except instead of transmitting over the air it goes through a cable, so you don’t have to share the frequency bandwidth with others and can use it all on your own. The more frequency bandwidth the larger the usable bandwidth for data. Multiple cables can increase this even more, but then your provider has to support that and you can already get a lot over a single cable.
