Across the three technologies the average bandwidth increased by 22 percent year-on-year.

Still, the typical cost of each megabit-per-second unit of capacity was markedly lower on hybrid fiber coax and fiber to home networks, compared to slower copper-access networks. In substantial part, that is because of the vast difference in capacity between copper and other networks. 


As speed climbs, cost-per-bit falls.
