    It is a consequence of how the networks were physically built when providers thought that cable and download speeds were all anyone needed; it’s not just a software switch they can flip if they wanted to.

    This is true of so much of our infrastructure in the US.

    Not bandwidth speeds specifically but just aging infrastructure that was built out long ago and not properly maintained and/or updated over time
